THINK!!!!!!!! you want to put a too small fan on yer Dak, thats just plane foolish. Thats like using an air conditioner designed for your bedroom on a air plane hanger that will handle 3 C5-A Galaxys It just won't do the job.

Geez, give the guy a friggin break.. Did he even mention fan size to begin with? No. He asked which fan he should buy. So, why don't you "THINK" before you rattle off an a$$clown reply like you did.
And to answer the original question. Check out a Jegs or Summit catalog for a possible dual fan setup. I'd usually recommend a Black Magic 150, which would be fine for the 318, but it might prove inefficient for a 360.

Check into the Spal dual 11" set up with shroud.
I run it on my 95 5.2 without any problems for 2 years now.
This is where I got mine for the best price and in stock;

hey BOB THE DOG the guy waas askin if a fan designed for a small engine would work on a big one. NO WAY will it work!!! I DID SEE the size of the fan HE said it was for a 318 and would it work on a 360 which under load PUTS OUT WAY MORE HEAT and from the factory comes witha LARGER RADIATOR!! so if you want to see a a$$clown reply just look at your own. If someone on here replies that a smaller fan designed for a smaller engine will work, and he ends up burning up his engine ARE YOU gonna replace it?

ChuckF: Be careful with the 150 as it's not quite enough for a V8 with A/C...let alone with the Supercharger. You may want to consider the Flex-A-Lite 210 and/or high-flow waterpump.

I can't say it enough. The Spal twin 11" set up works perfectly. It's not cheap or easy as in bolt on.
It cools my n/a set up with air, no problems.

I gotta tell you Bernd, since I put the Flowkooler on my 5.2, it actually runs hotter...I also changed out the thermostat, (bought from you as well). Flushed the system, new hoses, the works...go figure.

i have a dakII v6 5 speed and its a clutch fan, in the winter no matter how cold it gets the fan still operates and takes forever to warm up. also never shuts off at highway speeds so it stinks in my estimation. what i am thinking of is swapping out to viscuos type fan and maybe replacing the fan blade with fiber type would that be a good idea ? im not crazy about changing to elec fan. would apprec input.
thnks in advance.
