I have one in my vb trying to keep the 350 cool, it works ok but sitting in traffic for a while (20mins or more) it does/will overheat.

 

[v8commy]

so im better off going twin 10 inch?

you will need much more coverage than that one fan. either two fans offset or a shroud that covers everything.

search around on here for the VT upgrade. my mate did it to his ute and he is happy with it, but it des drag a lot of amp's so you will need to upgrade your alternator regulator and pulley.

Bump^^^^^^

its 30mm wider but you could get it to fit if your creative. at 21.5" ( 546mm) wide x 17.5 (444.5mm) high the thing to watch out for is the position of the fans if its bigger than the core you need to have enough room on the cowl to cut clearance for the inlet/outlets.

But twins will be more efficient than a single.

personally i would get two 16's and offset them... but thats just me. if your fan shroud overhangs the radiator itll suck air from the direction of least resistance i.e. the gap, not the rad. so a bit of stickytape and some cardboard maybe

but there is no way near enough room to put two 16" fans that would require 32"s that i dont have but thanks for your oppinion bud

Use the ford el fans or mondeo fans.

Also fit up a vn-vs v8 alternator.

A single 16 inch just wont work good enough when you're stuck in traffic.
