Aircooledclassics has an electric horizontal fan set up for 914 engines. My question is has anyone ever seen one in use or used one? It looks like a good idea but wonder if it would be good for street applications since they imply for "racing". 1200 cfms is not much wind compared to stronger fans on the market that can even push 3500+CFMs. If it does save HP from the power plant, then its worth it and it will give the engine a stead air stream compared to the belt/fan deal which will only supply higher CFMs at higher REVs.

We've ducted a 356 run no fan specifically for track use. You have a Bradley GT? |
