Ron--
 
I had a negative experience with a five-blade plastic fan made by another  
supplier (DW)--after several years' use the tips were pulled permanently  
forward approximately one inch at rest and even more at revs which probably did  
little for its efficiency.  I replaced it with a steel flex-fan supplied by  
British Car Specialties (Nock) which made a substantial difference in the  car's 
abiility to tolerate high temps and bouts of traffic, etc.  It  is a bit 
noisier but that never bothered me.  The BCS fan required a bit of  adapting to fit 
over the hub of the pulley but I don't think this is necessary  on 
six-cylinder cars.

There is  a red 5 blade plastic fan or a 6 blade SS (flex blade) fan
to pick  from.  Has anyone had any negative experience with either of  these
fans??
