You are right, of course Jay, but I understood from some earlier post that Subtle had used an electric fan, and assumed this was also a late 2 L. I have been using the skinny blade euro fan on my GTA engine in place of the cut down original style. The cut down draws less power at high rpm, but the skinny euro fan cools better at low engine speeds. The biggest problem with the skinny fan is in it's design. It is supposed to flatten out and draw less power at high engine speeds than the normal square bladed fan, but it's flexing, it seems, would also make it more likely to blow up
when it ages.
My cut down fan doesn't draw much air at any speed, but these little ones don't blow up unless improperly tightened down, cracking them invisibly, at the hub.
The electric fan in front of the radiator, solves all these problems, allowing no mechanical fan. I'm just not sure exactly what Subtle is trying to fit where. I'll have to give him a call.
