So I decided to go electric fan.the 4 row radiator core in my 64 comet is 17in/17in I need to know how much CFM I will need to sufficently cool this motor.it will produce close to 500hp on 7-9 lbs boost I have been told 4000 CFM is enough but the only thing that flows that much is a dual 13in fan setup this will not fit the radiator. Is 2900CFM enough to cool it? <br />Also If I took one fan and made it a pusher and one a puller would this create 4000CFM or would it be 2000 Since they are in front of each other?<br />Any information would be greatly appreciated and thanks for reading this long post-Luke <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#f7f7f7"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>Black94 5.0</b> <br /><small>Member # 655</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2004,5,13,2,9,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> If I remember right, 2300-2400cfm is good for about 400hp...I think a single 16" fan gives about that....<br /><br />I'm pretty sure that if you had 1 pusher and 1 puller fan it would equal the same as just 1 fan...I'd call flex-a-lite or be cool and find out what's best...<br /><br />I hope I could help... <img border="0" alt="[patriot]" title="" src="graemlins/patriot.gif" /> <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#dedfdf"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>Spook1964</b> <br /><small>Member # 4432</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2004,5,13,13,15,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> Yeah thats kinda what I thought too thanks for the input though. <img border="0" alt="[patriot]" title="" src="graemlins/patriot.gif" /> <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#f7f7f7"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>wilit</b> <br /><small>Member # 3367</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2004,5,13,13,42,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> Just go with the pusher/puller setup. I'm sure it's more than you'll ever need. Then if it does start to overheat, just throw on the heater full blast.
