Default 351C 4V

Charlieh:

I'm running the same setup as you in a 351C 4V with twin Flex-A-Lite fans and it runs all summer with no issues at 180. Originally I had a single fan and it couldn't hack the heat. I put in duals, shrouded and pushing not pulling. On a single fan I was running hotter than I wanted at 205/210 in hot weather; but added a second fan pushing (and shrouded) and i dropped to 175/180 and cooler. I put an adjustable thermostat in for the second fan to kick in at 180 which it does right on cue. I also have an override switch for sitting in traffice that i have never had to use (yet). My therm0stat is a 180 with a bypass valve in it to protect against thermostat failure. I have an expansion tank too, which gives me added coolant, but I am not sure that is an issue. You can buy the fans and I think the shroud from Jeg's or Summit and I can look up the numbers for you if feel you need them. Email me for further info if needed.

Regards,

Bernie
