Question regarding 3.0L fan
 

Hi,

I was wondering if the fan off a 3.2 will fit my motor (1979/1980)? I found one that is powder coated same color as my car (speed yellow), and he's willing to trade.

78/79 SC were the only models to use the 226mm fan(besides some very rare race cars). So if you have a 78 or 79 the 245mm fan from an 84-89 will not fit w/o changing the shroud as well. If you have any other year then it will fit fine, but only the 76/77 5 blade fans benefit from such replacement.

Does anyone have the part number of the fan shroud for the 78/ 79 226mm fan?

Now if I trade the shroud and fan assembly will it work? Will my setup work on his car and vice versa?

Bump.
Anyone knows the answer to my last question?

Thanks!

Sure, you could swap the whole shroud/alt/fan housing/fan etc but why would you?

for 11 blade fans
The 226mm fan driven at 1.8:1 pumps 1380 l/s@6000rpm
The 245mm fan driven at 1.68:1 pumps 1500 l/s@6000rpm
The 245mm fan driven at 1.8:1 pumps 1600 l/s@6000rpm

Thanks for the info Bill. So if I understand correctly the 245mm pumps more air right? It sounds like I'm better off powder coating my own fan!

Thanks again,
