Fan 17in 3 Blade Max Air Crate Engine

The Fan 17in 3 Blade Max Air Crate Engine cooling fan from Gorsuch Performance Solutions is engineered for serious engine builders and performance enthusiasts who demand efficient thermal management in compact installations. Whether you're running a crate engine swap, custom street rod build, or high-output engine package, this 17-inch three-blade design delivers maximum airflow in confined engine bays where traditional fan assemblies won't fit. Built for those who refuse to compromise on cooling reliability when space is at a premium, this fan represents the intersection of intelligent design and real-world mechanical necessity.

The three-blade configuration optimizes air displacement while minimizing parasitic drag on your engine, a critical consideration in performance applications where every horsepower counts. Measuring 14.25 x 2.7 x 15.95 inches and weighing only 1.275 lbs, this compact assembly fits mounting points that larger fans cannot accommodate, making it ideal for engine compartments with tight lateral clearance or custom frame rails. The blade design promotes consistent airflow velocity across the entire radiator surface, preventing hot spots and maintaining stable operating temperatures even under sustained high-RPM conditions or aggressive driving scenarios.

Fabricators installing crate engines—whether LS, small-block Chevrolet, Ford Windsor, or other popular platforms—will appreciate the universal mounting flexibility this fan provides. Professional shops and experienced DIY builders tackling complete engine swaps or custom cooling system integration will find this component essential for engines destined for street cars, hot rods, or performance street trucks where OEM cooling solutions are incompatible or inadequate. Installation requires securing the fan assembly to your radiator or custom support structure, ensuring proper clearance from belts and hoses, and confirming adequate electrical or mechanical drive engagement for reliable operation across your intended power range.
