smaller pully for squirrel cage fan

[Jcparmley]

Where do you acquire a smaller pully for the squirrel cage fan.  I heard they might help to keep the engine cool.  I know Fred Hobe use to sell them but I don't know if he is still around.  I did a search on the forum but didn't see anything that would point me in the right direction.  I have a 89 102c3

Are you going to do some hot rodding in the engine compartment?

Those tricks are only needed if you are going to push the cooling capacity to, or beyond the edge.

The MC7-8-9 were all just barely keeping up to stock engines of the day.

Your 102C has bigger radiators and bigger fans than Fred Hobe's MC8, you are already way ahead of the situation he was in.

Make sure all the air is going thru the radiators, not around them, not past the seals on the fan compartment door, there's a good chunk of rubber filling the space where the fanbelt passes into the fan cavity.

As long as what you are supposed to have, is there and sealing, you will cool a stock engine just fine.

Ok, that sounds good.  My thought was to make any improvements while the bus is under construction.  It would be a lot easier now than later when the bus is completed.
