<VV> cooling fan history / thoughts

[Matt Nall]

AHH,, now we do think alike!!  Good thing we don't LOOK alike!!! ggg

I feel a newer  smaller  Starter motor from a small 4 cyl. engine, without 
the snout ,  must make 6-8 hp to crank the engine when hot.... and super 
cheap in wrecking yards for the "Test"....maybe only 25-40  amps in a system 
running the early HD  fan  and a speed just adequate  for THAT engines 
maximum cooling needs...

Maybe one of those geared Super Starters?

Just find the right sized pulley

A 60 amp Alternator and a group 27 ? [ new designation??]  would possibly be 
adequate..
