I'm back after a brief absence and lots of work on my new love interest - a suzuki lj80 rebuild
Anyways, the car (L24) came with a stuffed fan clutch and a 280 plastic fan. So I got a new clutch for $90 and now the bloody thing roars like helicopter. As far as I can tell, the clutch unit is working correctly ( I think they're geared to 30% engine speed via a viscous coupling), but I wonder if I can get a smaller fan
I know that the originals came with the 4 blade metal fan, but all the plastic fans for the 240 seem to come in 7 or 8 blade versions ( '72 on, also listed for 260/280)
is the 7 blade one smaller in diameter and any quieter?
