Glad you like the set up. Did you run a thermostat switch to the relays? That will sense the coolant hit a certain temp, say 190, then automatically kick on the fan. You can keep an eye on the temp gauge and use the switch as an override if needed. Also, you need to be aware of the amperage being pulled from the fan as well as the water pump, fuel pump, whatever. At idle you may need an alternator that's capable of 60 amps at 900 rpm. A fan that size may pull 18a to kick on and 16a to run. The water pump is probably close to that as well. If you add lights, and other accessories, you may have issues around idle. A therm switch will also kill the fan at, or soon after shut down so you're not draining your batt.

Thanks - This helps me a lot. Wiring up my fan and water pump together on one switch. 12/21/2021

You should be good with your single electric fan. I have a single derale electric fan on my 496 and it's pumps! I've driven my car in the summer around 90 degrees and humid outside and it only got up too 200 degrees. Plus I have heavy iron heads. You'll be good bro! 👍

If that doesn’t cool it down I’d go to a junkyard and find a early 90s Camaro z28 dual fan setup I have mine pulling and I had a similar problem

Hell yeah man i love your content i have a 71 nova that runs 10.80 n a quarter sbc i love watching your cars progress

That looks clean brother 👌. Great work, nice upgrade

Glad it all worked out brother!! I’d definitely blackout the grill it will make “Harambe “ look AWESOME!!!!!!! God bless and Merry Christmas brother to you and the family.

After watching this video and hearing how cool the water temps are. For some reason people think these low umbers are good. The Fact Chevrolet Engineering designed both small & Big blocks to run between 190 & 210 degrees no matter what cubic inch the motor is. There are reasons for that. 160 / 180 your not burning out the moisture. and that creates problems for the metal parts by making varnish. You can see that in engines that are driven and never allowed to get hot, they build sludge. 190/210 is not running Hot. Wiring the pump so you can run the pump after shutting off the motor is good. Chevy says the least amount of wear on internal parts is when that engine is between 190/210. Good luck You have a nice car.

I got that manual steering box and rag joint for my 72 Skylark. I took out the old engine and found a crack in the frame, so I had to get another frame to be safe. Setbacks are part of the deal.....

Yes, black out everything 👍 beautiful car man.

Need to upgrade alternator now. Every mod just leads to another. Check voltage with headlights and everything running. Voltage looked barely over 12 with no headlights on. 100 amp one wire will do. about $100 from J or S. Looking good tho

Black out the grill. That does look good

I see this was a year ago. How has this setup worked out for you? I am considering this set myself. Thanks for your time.

2:18. There's a beast in your garage. Proceed with caution.

Looks like a huge procharger on the front ha, hope it works out. Black it out grill.

black it out would look like a beast!

That car would sound good with two chamber 40 serious flowmasters

I had two offbrand electric, 12 inch fans on my Monte Carlo SS and I had a lot of problems with it. Getting hot on the highway. I put 2 12 inch spal fan on totally fix the problem 90° out how does the car gets is 190 deg. They’re pricey fans well worth it.

You should also be able to switch the wires around good work

Well I guess you answered my questions in this video lmao.. can't wait to get mine in

Just need a 300 amp JS Alternator to keep ya up on volts I got mine and fixed lots of things. My electric fan pulls a lot of power. Problem solved. Nice car ✅

where did you find the door panels? im looking for a set like that

Transmission cooler might need a small fan.

Yo brother thanks for your vids I ended up getting some 5.5 bs wheels after seeing your vid and doing a ton of research LOVE the sound of that 396 makes me want a big block for a license plate alone!!! 427RAT !!! Hope it’s not taken!

Hey ss396rat. It sounds great. What trans and great? Maniacal s10. Mike

awesome video !!!

Nice🥊🥊💪🏾💪🏾what exhaust you running ?

180-190 is perfect.

Clean set up fam! G whatever happened to that light skinned tender you had when the wifey left?

I have been following your channel for a while now and was wondering when you were going to change to an electric fan. I have a 71 Nova with a 355 sbc in it, NOTHING and i mean NOTHING has cooled my Motor better than the Spal 30102049 16" Curved Blade Performance Fan, thing sounds like a jet engine when running, DAMN AWESOME!!! a shroud would be best i would have to think but its looking good sir. Keep up the good work.

nice progress, mines got a 3000cfm in the front as a pusher, cools down great in hot summer days to 190F in traffic but is loud as a jet when it runs....people think theres a jet incoming :D merry xmas to ya all

You need a more powerful alternator. Volts Should never be that low at idle. The fans and water pump need the bigger alternator.

Is this electric water pumps suitable for daily use or racing only?

Sounds mean oh and merry Christmas

Hey ss396rat. What flow or gph is your water pump , thermostat or restrickter. Maniacal s10. Mike

Is there away to program it ruen on at a certain temp i see to forget to check temps when i drive

Fan needs to be closer to radiator

I have a 454 them going to send to a machine shop looking for about 500 horsepower any suggestions???

That fan if it doesn't work for you may be because a shroud is not installed, it may work just fine as is

4000?? Better get you a swamp cooler

Hey ss396rat A thermostat with a hole in it and not a "fail safe why the hole"? Maniacal s10. Mike

Turbo 400

What pound raideator cap
