Check out my Cruiser - and Flex-o-lite fan?
Just wanted to invite you all to check out my Landcruiser! http://www.geocities.com/jeffreylors/ tell me what ya think - I am having cooling problems - will probably go with a Flex-a-lite Black Magic fan - If anyone has any comments - I just rebuilt the back interior panels on the project skull at the bottom of the page -

What are you running for a rad/fan? I was never able to get good cooling with an electric fan on my 327 FJ40. I run a 5 row rad, fan shroud, and stock 4 blade fan, no fan clutch. Flex fans ran HOTTER in my set-up. Any pix of your set-up?
Some have good luck with the Ford Taurus 2 speed fans (they kick butt on high, but draw 30+ amps)

late response on electric fan
Sorry about the long delay - computer crashed / back up and runnin with a Sony Vaio -
I took and got a fan shroud made custom - then took the protection plate off the bottom of the engine - it is runnin about 190 without the air turned on - 210 with the A/C on (in 95 degree weather at 7000')- I ended up not going with the electric fan because I just did not get enough positive feedback - most people were having the same problem - mine does still have the clutch but it seems to be cooling. I am hooking up the trailer for a run to Lake Powell this weekend so more on the heating next week.
Pictures of the rig are at http://www.geocities.com/jeffreylors/
