capt den Posted March 21, 2023 Report Share Posted March 21, 2023 to help my cooling issue i want to install a 6 bladed fan, i now have a4 blade. this is for my 54 windsor with the 265.i am also adding a shroud, which i just bought from French Lake Auto parts. these were the nicest people to do business with.they actually want your business.they locate your part,incclude any extra hardware that goes with it if they have it, they inspect the part, tell you it's condition, and then ship it out same day. this means they call you back when they say they will to discuss the sale.they did not have the 6 bladed fan. i have been calling many other yards for the fan having no luck.getting a call back seems to be the issue.they can't all not have one.the problem is i need to know if the 6 blade, which comes off a dodge or plymouth, will have the same mounting holes to my water pump. i have not tried that huge yard in arizona yet.tomorrow. i have used browns in texas in the past and they were great.this time it seems as if they cohldn't care less. capt den Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Riding Posted March 22, 2023 Report Share Posted March 22, 2023 Mine has 4 bolts - from my P28 ('56 Plymouth) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capt den Posted March 22, 2023 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2023 Bob, nice to hear from you. what is that fan bolted to?can't tell from the angle of the picture.the bolt pattern may be the same but the center hole looks bigger.if the 4 bolt holes match up the center hole won't matter. . where did you get it? my blades cannot be more than 18 1/2 inches long. also the depth of the blades is an issue as the fan rides close to the radiator. nice looking engine you have there, in a nice clean shop. that fan looks like it will move some air. i got a shroud off of a new yorker from french lake auto parts. they did not have a fan. i have been looking but no success. these junk yards are not easy to deal with. keep those hubcaps shiny . dennis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJK Posted March 22, 2023 Report Share Posted March 22, 2023 Are there any u pull it yards in your area? I have a 6 blade fan off from a 53 218 spare engine I acquired, that I plan on installing on my 52 218. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJK Posted March 23, 2023 Report Share Posted March 23, 2023 Check with Dennis Phillips at the "Plymouths Only" forum, he is parting out a 53 Plymouth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
9 foot box Posted March 23, 2023 Report Share Posted March 23, 2023 I’ve had this fan for years and finally adapted it to fit a Gates 42554 water pump. It measures 16 1/2”. I saw a Cummins/Onan fan co130192400 that is 17”, and the bolt pattern is real close to what you need. It’s the $89 one. Rick D. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Riding Posted March 23, 2023 Report Share Posted March 23, 2023 My fan is 17" dia, and 2" deep. It fits the hub off the stock water pump. It came off my '56 Plymouth. '55's had them too. Curiously, neither of my '54 Chryslers have 6 blades, only four. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sniper Posted March 23, 2023 Report Share Posted March 23, 2023 I wonder how hard it would be to press off the hub and use one from an LA or B/RB water pump? That would open up your fan options, but not sure about the pulley. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
