30102049 16" Curved Blade Performance Fan , Black

I bought this fan to replace the black magic 3000cfm fan I was running on my 1965 mustang 289. I am really impressed with the quality of this fan. Unlike the flexalite it is almost completely metal and has a sealed water proof motor. It fit my radiator like it was made for it and moves a ton of air. It's hard to tell for sure but it seems to move at least as much if not more air than the black magic fan. It's pretty quiet too. I can hear it kick on if the radio is off but barely. You'll need a relay and temp sensor for the fan as it has no built in sensor. I'm using a kit made by spal for this fan and it works great. Well worth the money and highly recommended! 3-15-15 Over 2 years later and this fan is still running strong. Keeps our 65 mustang nice and cool and has never ran over 200F since it was installed. 11-2-18 The fan relay and gasket are all holding up well. Runs nice and quiet and still keeping our pony nice and cool. Very good quality.

This fan comes with the four standard mounting brackets to mount it, Amazon did not have that on their listing. Great fan, I'm running it on a '94 4.0L ZJ in place of the stock mechanical fan, and it really helps with the A/C on those 90+ degree days. After owning a flex-a-lite, this Spal seems to be much higher quality and moves a ton (2024 CFM to be exact) of air! I've had a smaller 14" Spal on a truck I own for over 10 years now, and it hasn't let me down yet. Great fan for the 6/4 cylinder engines, but I don't know if it could pull enough to keep a V8 cool.

Great fan that I got for my Jeep. It has a cammed 5.3 LS with a 2800 stall converter. I made a shroud and has 0 issues cooling it down. Also it is not loud at all

Keeps my flathead Ford cool even in the hot days - - -

Was easy to install and is a quality fan. I usually do not write reviews but I would like to have known. This fan is very loud, I have a high performance motor and it is louder than the motor at idle and when cruising. The reason I am keeping it is because it solved my overheating issues, moves a lot of air, I guess that’s the trade off.

I saw this fan displayed in the exhibit hall at the Columbus Goodguys show. It was really moving a lot of air, and price was a lot less than other bigger fans. I didn’t buy it there, found it on Amazon later. The LS3 engine computer turns the fan on at 200 degrees, now it holds the temp right there, even when idling for 45 minutes in a parade.

Not a single spal logo or sticker on it anywhere.

My 76 Dodge truck with a 360 V/8 began overheating during the Texas summer and during prolonged idling. The temp would climb to 230. I replaced the engine driven fan with a 16 inch, electric puller fan, that I purchased online for $40.00. The "cheapo" fan was advertised at 2475 CFM . It helped a little; however, the temp would still climb to 220 when idling. I swapped my factory replacement brass radiator for a four-core aluminum radiator and it made no difference. I installed the Spal fan (with a true CFM rating of 2020) and now my truck runs between 185 to 190 and it can idle all day. The fan is kind of loud when you standing outside the truck. Not so bad with the motor running or inside the cab. When the fan starts it draws about 20 amps; however, it runs at about 10 amp or a little less. I used a 30 amp fuse and a good relay. The A/C is also much colder. All in all don't trust the cheap fans.

solo el sentir el peso del abanico a comparación de otros se ve la calidad del motor esta muy bien balanceado y se siente como jala mas aire que otros es casi el abanico perfecto pero como todo en esta vida tiene un defecto y ese es el ruido que emite. lo instale en un jeep tj con algunas modificaciones ya que es 3.50¨ de ancho y la tolva de aluminio no permitía que entrara asi que lo modifique quedo perfecto y mantuvo muy bien la temperatura del jeep sin problemas alado del carro su sonido chillón no parece ser tan molesto pero me di cuenta que a 20 metros de distancia el sonido se escuchaba y opaca un poco en sonido del mofle asi que decidí quitarlo y ahora voy a probar con otra marca como el Flex-a-lite yo creo que el spal es mejor abanico que todos pero tienes que aprender a vivir con su sonido a mi no me gusto así que sigo en la búsqueda de un abanico que tenga muchos cfm y con menos ruido

Had to go to a bigger rad fan seems to do the job at 42°C
