For the DIY'er .. yeah, an electric setup just isn't ideal in our vintage cars without a huge investment. As for the HP, spend that electric fan money on some other goodie for the extra HP.
Yes I think electric is better ... but only for a vehicle designed from the ground up to have electric.
Our cars were built to have a mechanical fan ... so that's what works best.
A HUGE amount of engineering goes into the frontal area of a vehicle, aerodynamics, cooling air flow, cosmetics, impact resistance, noise considerations. To take a car that was designed to have a giant mechanical fan pulling huge amounts of air through the radiator and try to replace it with an electric system is just a big ask.
