Default eFan -- will this one work?

Will this one work as eFans replacement?

By scanning old threads I saw folks mentioning v12s.com. I went to visit their site and the guys appear to be on prolonged Christmas/New Year's break through March! Wow, I wish I had this kind of a schedule...

Anyway, the fan in the links above look very similar to those pictured on v12s.com. Do you think they will work? (They can be delivered quickly by Amazon, in time for when my radiator is supposed to leave the radiator clinic.)

I think two 12 inch fans are marginal. Also the quality of the fan make is important. An12 inch and a 16 inch would be safer for a V12, IMO. Also find out the CF/min they pull, as they differ quite a bit. Summit, for instance, have quite a selection and also better known makers and flow details about the fans. You need a big fan that pulls well over 2000 cf/min, some pull nearly 3000.

Something else I forgot to mention, if you decide to use the OEM shroud, rather than no shroud (like me) or an aftermarket one (like in your amazon link) carefully measure the diameter of each of the two shroud holes, and ensure the fans you buy will go in.

If I go eFans, I will probably get the dual combo already mounted on the shroud. Probably will cost me a few extra bucks, but hopefully will save a bit of time and energy (which I will need for other projects)

Hi Warrjon

Just in case my 2 X 12 in Fans are not big enough to do the job, do you have any Photos of how you fitted that Shroud to your Rad.

I welded a couple of brackets and pins to the bottom of the Rad so I can drop the fans in and then a U clip over the top of the Rad and then the top Rad support holds it together.

There are a couple of pics here
