seriously wondering, if he bought some quality e fans to do the job, how is the clutch fan better? i mean, it only takes away a few hp, but they are noisy and bulky. im running dual fans out of a altima and my car actually runs cooler than when i had my clutch fan. could just be my personal opinion.

clutch fans are reliable, thats it. so much shiiiiiit can go down with those elctric fans its not even funny. but if you have a reliable quality setup then your fine. i went through so much crap with mine.

yeah, I don't know. I'll probably take it off. I do have the JDM fan shroud, but I'll probably just take it off. It looks cleaner anyways.

Heres an UPDATE

Okay: Update. my buddy Eddie came over today and helped out a butt ton of a lot. lol

We got the motor completely ready to pull within like 2 and a half hours.

but before he got there, I had to do some unlloading. The car wasn't running, so I had to unload it off of the dolly by myself. I used a tractor:)

I had to pull it with the small tractor into place. lol



but wait. it's low....really really really low. I got stuck. on nothing. on absolutely nothing. look at this.



THATS RIGHT, STUCK ON FLAT GROUND

haha, heres one side (not stuck)

And here's the other side. STUCK!

I don't know if you can really see, but the frame is ONE THE GROUND!

anywho, once I dragged it into place (with the big blue New Holland you saw in the background) I used the New Holland to pick the front end up to get jackk stands under it. lol. Because no jack was going there. lol

so it ended up like this:

Eddie came over and helped me out, and we ended up with this:

READY TO PULL!!!!
