Electric Fan Upgrade ? 700

posted by  someone claiming to be muchostupido on  Thu Jul 10 15:25 CST 2003 [RELATED]

car is 86' 740 GLE
and has the standard electric fan in front of AC radiator.
Later models (89 and up I think) have a larger fan.
I was at the junkyard and checked it out. The lower
mount would fit, but the upper need some re-engineering.

Question: Is it worth the effort?
Does anybody know the increase in airflow?
The newer/bigger fan looks like it has a larger electric motor.
Don't know if that is a stronger one.

Its not that I have a problem right know,
but with the smaller fan I feel so 'underpowered'. Just kidding!

But for the august heat in traffic jam it might help. Don't know.
