Enough CFM?

I'm not saying you should run a mechanical fan off the FEAD or anything... Just noting that the car's electricity is generated mechanically as well. Derale, Spal etc should be good, name-brand fans. The curved blade ones would be good, more blade area for a given size. What else do you want to know?

FEAD - Front End Accessory Drive

Thanks for teaching me something new today. I had to google wtf that was.

What is an fbody fan? Also, the electric fan is a must since there is very limited room for clearance without modifying the large bar that runs from side to side near the front of the car.

I'll jump in and say that this is the full fan and shroud from a 1998 to 2002 Camaro/Firebird. This is a 2 fan system. I didn't use this but have friends who did with success.

I think i will build a shroud out of fiberglass or perhaps aluminum.

This is a derale fan that looks like it will clear in depth. http://derale.com/products/electric-fans/universal-electric-fans/h-o-extreme/aluminum--10an-o-ring-plug-detail

Any luck with that you think?

Is it fully ducted?

Will you road race the car?

Cooling is so relative to set up and intended use its not funny.  I have seen swap cars live life fine with a AFCO VW radiator (very small) and some cars need a monster radiator to keep things in check.

Derale told me it is 14.2 amps and jegs has it for 127$.

I will drive it hard sometimes, but definitely not road race. I don't really know what ducted means... I was planing on building a shroud around the fan and rad to keep the flow up so it is not wasted out the side. In the summer it may get 90 F here max. I just don't wanna buy it and find out it isn't going to cool it enough. This is a mostly stock 302 also, not a giant 400 horsepower monster.

Thanks
