Review on 🌬️ Omix-Ada 17102.03 Radiator Fan Shroud: Efficient Cooling Companion by Steven Doty

You can hear a lot of bad reviews about Omix-Ada parts. Don't let that stop you from ordering this radiator fan shroud. My 1975 Jeep CJ5 didn't have it. It also came with a 258 4.2 liter engine that gave its last breath. When replacing this engine with a small block Chevrolet 350, I wanted to take every precaution to avoid overheating. This can be achieved by ensuring that the mechanical fan is pushing air through the heatsink. I bought this Omix-ada fan cover which was made for the 304V8 application but I figured as long as it was a centered fan I should be fine. Yes, it fit perfectly. Since Chevy requires radiator inlets and outlets on the opposite side than Jeeps (and I had a local radiator shop replace the ends on a three-row Jeep radiator to make it work with my Chevy engine), I had to trim parts of it a bit. housing around. radiator hoses. If you're buying it for the original engine application, you don't have to. Driving the Jeep for about a week now after the engine overhaul I see the temperature stays at 185F. Not bad for a mechanical fan, V8, short headers and in a tight engine compartment. I have yet to see how it performs on track but so far so good.
