Guest John1918 Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 Did the Victory Six have a six bladed fan? The one on mine is four bladed and all ohers I have seen are the same. There is a 6 blade fan on my '18. John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin bc Posted June 25, 2011 Share Posted June 25, 2011 Hi thereHave just recently purchased a 6 bladed fan for my 1930 DC 8 Dodge. It came of a "DODGE SPEED WAGON" of 2nd WW vintage, matches the same bolt holes on my pump, but blades have to be machined down for my car so they clear hoses & balancer.cheersKevin BC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
idrjoe_sandiego Posted June 28, 2011 Share Posted June 28, 2011 Kevin, aren't the stock DC-8 fan blades rather small in diameter? I recently saw a DC8 engine and the fan looked like it was for a toy car! I understand they had a clearance problem using the larger diameter fan blades as you mentioned. Can you post a picture of the stock setup for others to see? Thx, Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dwollam Posted June 28, 2011 Share Posted June 28, 2011 One problem with lots (6?) of blades is they can actually cavitate like a boat prop. When they get spinning real fast they kinda form a wall if you will and don't flow air very well. One would be better off with more pitch and less blades. Low speed is where a fan is needed, at higher speeds the air is pushed through the radiator just by movement of the car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin bc Posted June 28, 2011 Share Posted June 28, 2011 Yeah Joe, The Dodge 8 only has a 14" blade, and that only justs clears the harmonic balancer, and the lower radiator hose. the speed wagon blade is approx 17" so would have to have about a 1 1/4" machined off. Am sitting on this one as I have just had a new radiator built, and when the car gets on the road, it hopefully wont need the 6 blade fan, but thought it was an opportunity to get one as an option, when I saw it on EBAY for $11. - Too good to pass up. Will add a photo or two soonKevin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
