[QUOTE="Richard L, post: 584608, member: 52972"] Eddie, I see the fan but It is not electic. Electric fans are only about 1"-1.5" thick and do not need flexible pitch blades. Also, most electric fans have 5-6 blades or more and they are fairly small. That would make the electic fan invisible in the original fan shroud. Most flex-bladed fans are noisy and that's what I think spfarmer has. If he has an electric fan and it's that noisy, It may be the brand of electric fan or he may have a fan with a cfm rating too large for the engine. A better choiice is to use 2 smaller fans rather than one large fan. If you need a 1600 CFM fan, it would be better and quieter to get two 800-900 CFM fans. The photo is not very clear since there is not much light getting into the fan shroud so the black on black does not show much, but I see what appears to be large black fan blades which are not commonly used on electric fans. ...Rich [/QUOTE]
