Flex Fan.
I running about 200-210 on my temp gauge, which I think is a little high so I bought me this flex fan....maybe it will help some and what do you guys know about them, one picture is the new one and the other is the old,,,is the flex better or will it just make the 440 look that much better?

I haven't used one since the 70s on a street car, if I remember correctly they look cooler than they run.

Does the car heat up at speed or when idling/low speed ... that's kinda important.
Flex fans work, have for a long time and are about as easy as you're going to get.
I'm more familiar with the big blade types from Mr Gasket, etc, so I don't know what the cfm rating on that on is.
Electric fans would usually do a better job but can be more expensive and complicated to install, unless you can use something fairly generic.
Before you change the fan, make sure the rest of the cooling system is doing their jobs.

I throw that type in the trash..... Use the 1318 Hayden.... Space it just up inside the shroud and let it rip... If it's not under driven to much... you wont have any problems with it.. make sure to use a 180* thermostat.. I use this style on most everything I build, and have not had one let me down yet....
Providing everything else is in good working order...
Just My 2 cents....
