Which Fan?????

[CAMAROBOY69]

What would be needed to adapt the Mark VIII fan set-up to the stock radiator on my 69 El Camino? Does it come with its own shroud enclosure?

Just like Troy said, it is very easy since thie Mark VIII fan has its own built in shroud. All you need to do is make a few brackets. If you have fabrication skills this is way to easy to do. There are a couple threads in this forum where guy get great deals on the relays. I recal a couple guys getting the relay for around $20.00

I appreciate the info too,guys. Sounds like I need to give Rock Auto a call and get one of those fans coming my way. Don't know why I stayed with the stock shroud and engine-driven fan with my VA FrontRunner set-up. No problems with cooling but the Mark VIII fan should work even better and look a lot cleaner,too.

Clint, you'll probably want to add a trinary switch to your A/C system to control the electric fan; that's what I did when I went to electric fans. You probabaly have a binary switch (high and low pressure cutout) in the VA system now, call them up and get a Trinary switch (high P cut, low P cut, and fan control) and use that. With the trinary switch the A/C turns the fan on only when needed by the high-side system pressure; this way it isn't on constantly when the car is moving. It only turns on when you come to a stop and the high side pressure starts rising due to lack of airflow through the condensor.

I'm getting ready to run a dual fan setup off an LT1 on my 67 Firebird. Fits perfectly on my radiator. I ahve talked to several guys who run these fans. Work well...
