Tue Nov 10, 2009 8:23 pm

I am beginning the search for the missing cooling system parts to make my cooling system complete and functional. Does anybody have a picture of a doghouse fan side by side to a non-doghouse fan (or at least one of each) so that I can make sure I get the right stuff the first time. One of the places Im going to look through says he has tons of parts, but they are just basically in piles and I just gotta paw through and find what I need. I dont trust what was on my car because its a DP engine with SP heads and I guess everything that is supposed to go with the SP heads I dont know if it all is the same style (doghouse vs non) or not so might as well start from scratch.

Also any leads for a Thermostat? Might as well install a new one since im going through all the trouble of getting everything together and working.

Thanks in advance!
P.s. I have a pic of the rest of the cooling system, just need fan stuff.

I appreciate the link, found some better prices than locally, however didnt see a fan anywhere in there.

Use the search feature. The link I posted was for a search for thermostats. Fans are out there.

Doghouse fans measured between the discs that make up the fan at 33, 34, or best yet 35 mm.
Using the 29 mm or smaller non-doghouse fan is a good way to have cooling problems in a doghouse cooling system.

Sorry, forgot to update this one. I got a complete system locally for $60 fan included. Thanks for the help everyone.
