Fan 17in 3 Blade Max Air Crate Engine

The Fan 17in 3 Blade Max Air Crate Engine cooling fan from Gorsuch Performance Solutions is a mechanical engine cooling solution engineered for builders and enthusiasts running custom crate motor builds or street/strip applications where reliable heat rejection is non-negotiable. This universal-mount fan addresses a critical need in modern engine swaps and traditional hot rod projects: delivering maximum cooling capacity without electronic complexity or parasitic horsepower loss. Whether you're installing a carbureted big-block or modern fuel-injected engine in a vintage chassis, this fan provides the consistent airflow required to keep coolant temperatures stable under sustained operation.

Built with an aluminum hub and three plastic blades, the Fan 17in 3 Blade Max Air Crate Engine leverages lightweight engineering to minimize rotational inertia while maintaining structural rigidity at high RPM. The 17-inch diameter blade assembly generates substantial displacement per revolution, pulling air through the radiator core with efficiency that matches or exceeds electric fan setups in many scenarios—and without the voltage draw or heat generated by electric motors. The 5/8-inch pilot bore and universal bolt pattern accommodate most standard engine block water pump flanges, while the blue blade finish provides visual distinction on the dyno or at the show. At just 1.275 lbs, the fan assembly adds negligible weight to the engine bay, making it ideal for weight-conscious builds.

This cooling fan benefits engine builders, hot rod fabricators, and motorsports enthusiasts who demand mechanical simplicity and proven reliability in high-performance applications. The universal bolt pattern ensures broad compatibility across small-block and big-block platforms, Gen I through modern stroker builds, and both domestic and some import engine swaps. Installation requires basic mechanical skill and standard hand tools; the fan bolts directly to your water pump hub using existing engine fasteners. For track applications, street rods, and vintage restorations where you want dependable cooling without computer modules or failure points, the Fan 17in 3 Blade Max Air Crate Engine delivers straightforward performance and lasting durability.
