Curious: Any idea of how much air they pull, and what kind of amp draw?

So the attachment below has information with the same motor, but a smaller 15” fan for a Volvo sedan. No flow numbers but it says highest amperage recorded was 42 amps.

The big 800 watt span fans in 6th gen Camaros are recorded over 5000 cfm in free air with roughly the same size fan as the one I’m using.

These are 600 watt motors. Given the blade is basically the same I would guess it’s at or slightly superior to the Lincoln Mark VIII fans just in a slimmer depth package with more control over the speed. Somewhere in the neighborhood of 4000 cfm. I should have one of them in one way or another this weekend.

Nice flow. Also nice that it has a thinner profile.

New radiator coming. Instead of drilling DOWN on the square channel brace to mount my fan brackets, I will mount the brackets with horizontal holes back to front.

Yeah. In years past I would've launched into a profanity saturated violent tirade. Thankfully that's not me these days!
