It was a total fluke. I've been researching these parts on various websites and I had seen that fan on Amazon for the $120 price. Then I checked it again a few days later and it was $80. I couldn't pass it up. Surely it can't be that bad, plus it comes with the proper connector for the C6 fan controller.

The dimensions on that radiator are a lot smaller than the dimensions shown on the fan......that's why I guessed about 18"

I am hoping it is a 16" blade. If you look at the fan picture, the shroud extends past the blade, and the shroud has to fit on the 17" core.

So I got the C6 fan today. Not surprising, made in Taiwan, but who cares, iPhones are made in Taiwan too...

The fan assembly doesn't match the picture that is posted on Amazon. I don't know if there was a design change on these at some point, but here is what I got:





The fan blade is 16.5" and it comes with the right connector to plug it into the C6 fan controller. There is even a little molded cradle for it. Imagine that.



Just let me know if anyone wants any other measurements.

Thanks! I think I will replace the LS1 F body fans I have with that. I kind of like the half shroud, half open design, better than the full shroud.

Donny,

I don't hate the open design. Once a car is moving you want as much air as possible to just flow through. I wish the C6 radiator didn't have that funky angles upper hose. I would just use it in the Cougar and this fan mounts right to the radiator itself.



Anyone have any creative ideas how to mount this thing?

I don't recall, do you already have your radiator? If not, can you have the mounts built in place on the end canisters just like the picture?

What is this picture of the fan mounted from? Any close shots of the mount points?

I went to the junk yard yesterday & found a couple modules with connectors on fans that were busted. One of the connector bodies has a little damage to it, but still seals out the weather.

Who wants one?
