Tony, I bought the Spal controller that automatically turns the fan on at 185 degrees, but also has a manual override switch as well. I bought a really nice Fluidyne radiator, and this fan and radiator combo should keep it pretty cool. If not, I'll have to step up to the setup Ray describes above, that sounds really sweet. I doubt I need it but thanks for bringing it up Ray. My engine won't be really radical. As crazy as it sounds, it'll probably be a lazy engine - these days a 500+ HP 445" stroker FE is a fairly lazy engine. I don't anticipate any huge problems with the triple core radiator and the Spal fan. I'll have the dual pusher fans wired into the same circuit, they'll go on and off with the Spal at the same time. We'll see how it works!
