Hi gang, I found a fan off a /6 with 7 blades. My current fan has 4 blades. Which is better? It for a '66 Dart.

Thanks,

Tom

I never had a problem with the 4 blade, and I know they where factory engineered to work with the slants cooling, but I still like the 7 blade. A clutch fan with a seven blade is even better.

You can always say you have a "HEMI" fan on your \6!

If it is a solid fan rather than a clutch unit, you only have 4 blades to worry about cutting you when water pump time comes, instead of 7. Only a little over 1/2 as deadly! I know, I go get my stitches out of my hand Mon. ,7/14. Just kidding, not about the stitches, but the other part, yes I know that has nothing to do with airflow potential. BUT IT HURT WHEN THEY STUCK THAT NEEDLE IN THERE!!

Where can you get a 7 blade clutch fan new (or from what vehicles at a boneyard)?

Know how they always build a better idiot? That's me

Measure the clearance between your water pump and radiator before you buy that clutch fan. My '64 Valiant does not have enough room for the clutch fan to clear.

You can get a clutch fan from a huge selection of stuff, especially stuff bigger than A bodies, and newer than A bodies. They should be dirt cheap, as so many barges and midsized cars came with them.

To be honest, I don't know what the fan came out of. It was in a junked pick up box in my sister and laws neighbors drive way (dont ask, the neighbors where evected) and just looked like it would fit, which it did. I got a different clutch unit when the original frooze up off a mid'80's 5 Avenue, (whos fan didn't fit). Just break out the tape measure and go hunting!
