I have one of these for the race car. It's a very nice piece. Well
constructed and all that.
Is it a waste of money? If you need a radiator, it is probably overkill.
But you're getting what appears to be a very nice radiator for reasonable
money...
Regarding the fan - anyone on this list for more than a little while knows
that I'm a big advocate for dumping the crank-driven fan in favor of
electric. I'm modifying my radiator for an electric fan. So, you don't
need an electric fan, but there are benefits in having one.
