Well...
I'm counting on a 16" 2,500 CFM fan to do the job. I'm about to know if it will.
If it doesn't, then I'll likely just fab a shroud for the mechanical fan, and send a bunch of electronics back for a refund.
I have the 17" version of the same fan, I think it's rated at 2,600 CFM, for my 440 6bbl in my Roadrunner. That's going to be a 541 cu in, appx 675-700HP and Torque aluminum stroker motor, and the fan is going to have to work for that as well.
It's hard to believe that people make electric fans that don't work. The dual 12" setup not doing the job was very disappointing, and I can't imagine ANY engine it would keep cool, given that the aluminum radiator certainly is a better design and materials than the factory original radiator.
I'll post my results here tomorrow probably.
