Radiator

[mattymatmat]

Hey does anyone know where to get electric fans for a early 260z radiator? And perhaps how much it would all cost? I'm told an electric fan can give you a few horsies over the stock fan.

Any autoparts store like AutoZone carries these. You will have to offset it so it doesn't interfere with the crank pulley. Expect to pay around $50-70 for a 10-12" fan. Or you can visit Racer Parts Wholesale or call them at 800-397-7815. They sell two varieties.

Thanks for the link hmsports, I take a look see. Did you by chance do that mod to your car?

You will feel A diff. when pull the fan from the waterpump. The one thing you could do is buy 2 elec. fans. Use one as you where going too. Then put the other one on the front side as A pusher. You will be shocked at how much cooler your Z will run.

Just make sure you cross over the + and - wires on the outside fan so the fan runs as A pusher.

mattymatmat,

I have done this to both my race cars. I also use an aftermarket aluminum radiator. You can see a picture of my installation in my photo album - the shot labeled '72 ITS Prepped'.

The installation kit is very easy.

How can you tell if a radiatior is 2, 3 or 4 row? Mine is supposed to be an upgraded but I want to check to be sure. If not I will upgrade it (I'm in Texas ya know!)
