Re: Early V8 fan assemblies SURVEY
What years Ford V8s had generator mounted fans? I understand 33 thru 36, but I'm not sure.
Is there an aftermarket fan hub to modify a different generator to fan mounted fan? Seems 8N Ford had a fan that mounts with 4 bolts that looks like a generator fan, but I'd be concerned with fan speed as the 8N had a low engine speed. What is the best generator mounted fan to mount on a V8 to keep length short? Jack |

Re: Early V8 fan assemblies SURVEY
Try to find a fan from a 1939 Ford "standard". This will be the shortest as far as I know.
39 was the last year for the generator mounted fans |

Re: Early V8 fan assemblies SURVEY
33-34 fans have a short hub. That is what I used on the 8BA in this 32 I am putting together.

Re: Early V8 fan assemblies SURVEY
I have been talking to Whitney machine about putting an alternator in a generator with a fan hub. I had a 40 2 brush with a fan pulley that I was going to use as a core. They told me that the front bearing was not suitable for a fan. I needed pre 39. The 37-38 model 78-79 generators have the best bearings.Older ones will work.

Re: Early V8 fan assemblies SURVEY
I do not know how they set up their conversion, but your way sounds good,plenty of support for fan.
