Fan specs needed
 
I checked google/yahoo and searched on here and didnt find the answer I need.

My car is having alot of trouble cooling at idle. I have a 3-core radiator, 2 flex-a-lite fans (210's I believe.) Still cant get the job done. I want to put a Lincoln Mark 8 fan on there. Can anyone tell me the dimensions of it?

Currently, I have 2500 shrouded CFM's and I need more. What is really pissing me off is the fact its a mostly stock L98 and without the AC on, it goes to 230*!!

TIA.

don't settle for a taurus fan if this will fit. make sure it looks like the one on this page.

That should be more than a sufficient enough system (what you have now). I run a dual pass design and only have 1600ish cfm accross it and I have to tape over the bottom portion of the radiator to prevent over-cooling.

Try pressure testing your cooling system.

Now that I think about it, I can remember EXACTLY when it started. When I went from TBI to TPI.

I bought a computer from my junkyard out of a "91 L98 Camaro" Put it in and it ran like crap. Well, my employee was screwing with some adjustments and got it running ok. I later found out he cranked the timing way up and the passenger side header was glowing red. I switched the chip with a dealer unit, and since then, its ran great, but the car wont stop overheating.
