That's a 16" fan. I can't imagine that fitting. The radiator core is only 31" long and 11" high if I remember correctly. I didn't measure my 3-core, but I did measure my 2-core that's out of the vehicle right now. I doubt the core area is that much different.

I'd much rather run two bigger fans that would equal the airflow of the 3x10" setup. But at 7,050cfm, I doubt I'll find two fans that will fit and move an equal amount of air.

I'm very interested in your setup once it's complete. Keep us updated.

I saw it fit on here actually. Page #1 on this thread.

Which fans are 7,050 CFM?

I still have some of the paperwork and it lists FFD14. I went back to try to locate the exact fan and I can't find it.

Now remember, you can only use this fan if you are doing the transfer case drop. If you eliminate it, the bolt/studs from the fan clutch pulley will hit the fan casing and it will be no good to you. This is why I converted to the dual stock AC fans. The stock fan pulls more air anyway IMO.


AC Stock fan depth



Derale/FF Dynamics 14" fan depth



The pictures look like the stock fan is actually deeper. The shroud itself is slightly deeper, but the way the fan is notched out gives the entire assembly room to clear the fan clutch bolts. Also, the stock AC fan tucks in tighter when mounted giving more clearance.
Check this fellas it's only a 14" and then he went stock and it's the three fan setup that's 7050cfm. Oh and by the way great way to kick start a dead thread, now I know the fan mod I'll use!!!

You can only fit on of those plus your stock aux fan not 3. Not enough room.

Ya, I figured it was 14" not 16".

Going to look up CFM for the fan.

I found the fan posted. Heading says 2700 CFM and description shows 2500 CFM. Not sure which it is? This is what concerns me

No I didn't read this entire thread but i feel the need to say... The OEM mechanical fan moves FAR more air than any electric fan combo.

I just don't understand why people put all electric fans on and lose cooling capacity.
