I've tried'm all. The factory clutch-n-fan works well, and gives ya alittle more hp at high speed. But a BIG flex fan cools better at idle and low speeds. And i dont like all that wieght on the water pump. I believe thats why the bearings wear out. Heres my favorite recipe.
Large two row core aluminum radiater. Factory fan shroud. Flexalite #1319(19-5/16) with a 1" spacer. 170* stat with two 1/8" holes. Upper-n-lower baffles. Many guys use a/c crank(8")-n-water pump(6-3/8) pulleys. I dont have a/c, so use 7" crk/8" w/p for alittle more HP and less strain/pressure on the system. Mine idles about 185-190* without any baffles. Drops to 170-175 as soon as i floor it.
