OOPS! You're absolutely correct Mike, it's not
Belt driven. I guess that I was too busy checking out the horizontal set-up at Riechert (well, that's my story, and I'm sticking to it!).
As far as electric fans go, they seem pretty dependable, I don't hear alot about them going out. For an added safety measure, I suppose that you could wire an "overtemp" switch (available at any HVAC supplier) to cut power to the fuel pump just in case the fan goes south on you. In fact, an overtemp fuel pump cut-out wouldn't be a bad idea on the stock set-up. Hey, a tow truck is cheaper than a new engine!
I haven't checked out Excellence. I've only got the one issue "Beauty and the Beast", but I'll have to get a new issue and check it out. (Damn, I thought I actually had an original idea for once!
