i am going to remove the viscouse fan i brought two electric fans from jlb motor factors in burton on trent ,made a frame to fit them in ,it fits in the slots at the bottom of rad and bolts to the holes at the top , made it in s/steel had it polished . got a kenlowe thermastatic control unit ready to fit it now let you know if it is better

It is better imo, more bhp and better fuel economy, and if you fit a cut off switch it stops the engine bay being splattered when playing Very Happy

If you don't mind me asking, how much did the fans & thermoswitch cost?

Great result, but let me ask you - as the 3.1 runs pretty cool anyway, do you think 2 fans were necessary or could you get away with just one?

Do you know what the CFM rating of the fans is?

hi hard1 ,yes you could us one fan i fitted 2 for show realy,the cfm is 865 for each fan ,while the cubic metres per second is 3.56 each. I put 2 on so that it is on top of its job ,dont forget that there is no cowling round the fans with 2 but with one you could retain it . I run mine through 2 fused relays to be safe . The fans draw 4.4 amps each . Hope this is some help to you .
