Red face Electric Fan?

Ive got a 78 f250 4wd. 400 c6-np203 I live in phx az. I am without a fan shroud and have a questionable clutch. Ive been looking into an electric setup. I am looking at costs and can't decide what to do. Any ideas on where to find cheap shroud or what electric fan to use? Any ideas appreciated

i would stick with what you have. the electric will run you about 250.00 and then you will need a new 100 amp alternator to run it so figure on 400.00.

the best ones to use are the Fiero fans. but you will still need a alternator upgrade.

Personally, I would just order a new shroud from someone like Jeff's bronco graveyard. This set-up will cool much better than an electric fan.
