Dodgeb4ya Posted June 9, 2021 Report Share Posted June 9, 2021 "And a fifth blade on the fan. Where do I get that option? " Buy a Chrysler with a straight "8" and your fan will have five blades. Typical eight cylinder Chrysler fan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoGoFargo Posted June 9, 2021 Report Share Posted June 9, 2021 Some of the industrial engines had 5 blade fans. I have one from a late 60’s Bombardier SW48 that’s going to go in my 53 Fargo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its had some damage from a bent radiator shroud, so I wouldn't use it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Judging Guide (1).pdf 203.55 kB · 29 downloads Judging criteria is very cool and good to know. Would it be the same for Fords? : ) My belief is that rebuilds were red and factory silver And good ones had no paint at all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrysler1941 Posted June 10, 2021 Report Share Posted June 10, 2021 More fan blades will put a load on engine. There's a reason why only 8, industrials etc had these. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dig it that is the exact reason for the statement...the artist is putting his work forward...not the actual display of the product as it will be to the public...nothing wrong with that...IF folks realize it is "art" and not a picture. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More radiator cooling and offset fith fan blade to lower fan noise howling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plymouthy Adams Posted June 10, 2021 Report Share Posted June 10, 2021 it is amazing that this asymmetrical approach has also proven on the dyno increase in HP....even the brand X folks like the mopar asymmetrical design fan for performance as it has less parasitic loss.
