What's "melt bladed"? Not real sure, but I seem to recall Joe's price was around $55 for OEM.

I wouldn't just do the fan blades, I think the motors get tired, too.

I think he's talking about the mechanical cooling fan?? Hooked on to the water pump?

Yes I mean the White Plastic cooling fan attached to the water pump.

I always see those cool metal fans in Hotrods.just wondered if you could just throw in a "Flex-Fan"

I also have a cooling fan issue with my front active cooler.

Oh, duh. Nevermind, I'm stewpid. I was thinking about the electric booster on the outside.

IMHO, a race style aluminum one, particularly if you remove the clutch would be a mistake.

A clutchless flexalite would sound like a tornado going down the road.
