| From what I have heard, Ford was trying to cut costs in the early 70's and the fan clutch was part of that cost cutting. Maybe Ford needed the money to put towards legal fees regarding exploding Pintos :shock: LOL!!! probably more truth to that then we'll know. I heard the Fords don't really do too... |

| I know they were factory offered but not all cars came with them. I'd like to run one on mine for a few free hp but it wasn't offered on the 351cj in 73, so per the pure stock rules It's not allowed. So sad to hear a 73 351CJ didn't come with a clutch fan. Not even the 2BBL version with A/C? nope. ... |

per the supercar pure stock rules
"9.05 Fan must be factory original and correct for the year, model, and horsepower claimed. No after-market "lightweight" flex-fans allowed". The way I read that is if your car came with a fixed blade fan, thats all you are allowed to run. |

| I can generally get 60' times in the 1.80s. Unlike the others, I keep 35 lbs in the rear tires. A slipper style clutch is important. Try looking at a McLeod soft loc or similar. Keep the base pressure relatively low and add something in the 35+ grams of weight total on the fingers. Of course good s... |

| F-70 14 redline. Run 26-28 lbs. car weighs 3645 with me in it. I think a bunch of little things help. I run 4:10 rear gear. Makes it easier to control the tire. Once you get the tire spinning with a 3:23 gear you can't stop it. I think my converter really helps me, 9.5" ptc setup for the littl... |
