I would not have a single fan on a V8, especially a
360 unless the fan was designed for it. The dual 12"
is hard to install but done correctly it cools in stop
and go traffic reaching temperatures of 109 degrees
(RC, 2WD,318 w/180 t.stat). Thats my experience this
summer. Boils down (pun intended) to the correct CFM,
cubes and AREA (radiator size). BTW, the Flex-a-lite
tech did not recommend the Black Magic for my 318. On
4WDs the 318 may run hotter because of heavier loads,
towing etc. Glad to hear its working for you so far.
