No, ^3 means cubed ... ^4 means quadruple ,,, or to the fourth power ,,, or something. (Never ask a mathmatician or software engineer to give a techinical answer after the third bottle of wine unless you have a blackboard ... and a lot of caffeine for the audience.)

Yes. where are the pictures?

E-fan?? As in electric radiator fan?? Your BF probably has a better opinion on that. I'm planning on using a stock clutched fan on MLP.

Yep, electric radiator fan. As of right now, the stock clutched fan provides 80% of the noise in the driver's compartment. The other 20% is intake noise, which we're going to try to fix with the intake hose stuff, which also will give us cooler intake air (hopefully).
It's just a thought and a question - has anyone on here done it, what is involved and is it worth it?

It might be better to ask this question on "that other forum," where Charlie1935, bigdog440, Madlurch, PowerWagonPete, and the others can chime in.
It seems to me that the stock clutch fan and any electric fan would generate roughly the same amount of noise. In both cases, the fan blades need to 'beat the air' to the same degree to draw air through the radiator. Consider the noise produced by helicopters and propeller driven fixed wing aircraft ... the military has a vested interest in making those as quiet as possible.
There may be other advantages, besides potential noise reduction. Flex fans, clutched fans, and electric fans all seek to achieve the same goal ... which is to shut the fan off when not needed. I'd be willing to say noise reduction is a secondary consideration in any of the alternatives.
I know, in my case, noise reduction is a distant second in terms of the reasons for the cold air intake I'm planning for MLP. (I'm banking more on insulation for noise reduction than any other engine compartment mods.)

Griff, you're right- shoulda remembered my square and cube roots...

I've always found anything beyond the cube root to be a bit tough, no matter how much you boiled it ...

Wow, I lowered property values AND jump started this thread all at the same time.

Hey Griff, I had a "Brown Shoe" MSgt shop chief something like that when I was a young'en. Had keg in a fridge in the garage in base housing... He ran a line from there through a hole he made in the wall to a "regulation" beer tap mounted in the kitchen. I never once saw him sober at home (was over there a "couple" of times) nor drunk at work. The man loved his 50 Fords too... Had 2 or 3 of them in various states of "restoration".Leeann wrote:
