Keeping your engine cool is key to producing horsepower and increasing the longevity of your engine. Classic cars commonly employed mechanical fans that while simple, stole parasitic amounts of horsepower from the engine while inefficiently cooling the engine at lower RPMs since they were driven off the crankshaft. A common solution has been to upgrade to electric fans, but these can be bulky and difficult to hook up in a classic Mustang where clearance can become an issue with bigger engines.
Flex-a-lite, who specializes in radiators and fans, has developed a fully integrated radiator and electric fan kit which increases the cooling efficiency while also delivering improved fuel mileage of up to 2 MPG. These cooling systems come with an aluminum dual core radiator that provides a 300 percent increase in the cooling area over a stock Ford radiator, dissipating heat better and providing signifigent horsepower increases. These kits are direct bolt in replacements and also comes with an electronic temperature control unit which allows the S-blade fan to operate anywhere between 20-100 percent power, depending on the water temperature. The radiator is available separately or as a complete bolt-in kit.
