Having the proper long neck thermostat (original style) also helps in keeping your vehicle running cooler.

Thanks for the input guys.  I just called Dave and ordered his stainless steel flex fan, spacer and bolts package for my BN2.  I like the idea of a fan going flat at speed to lessen the load on the engine.  My radiator is newly re-cored, I am having a Chevy style neck put on it to raise the pressure in the system thereby the boiling point.  Hopefully, as long as the timing is correct with a new radiator core there should not be a problem with over heating.

Mike, As a footnote I also put an electric fan in front of the radiator controlled by a toggle switch in the cockpit. I used to live in the Miami area and during the summer it was a furnace down there. I also tried an additional pair of blades on the stock set of blades and I noticed the additional weight affected the acceleration of the engine. Then I went to the Flex-A-Lite fan.

Mike, Look into Flex-A-Lite. I put one on my '67 BJ8 many years ago and haven't had a problem with it. It is the flexible fiberglass type. I don't know if they are available anymore in fiberglass but I see the flexible stainless steel ones are out there. Just google Flex-A-Lite and see what comes up.

Moss is having a sale on right now and I can get a 6 bladed metal fan marked down from $130 to $104.  Moss's version of the Texas Cooler fan is $85, but my BN2 needs an adapter that costs another 85 bucks.  I live in Southern California and it can get hot out here.  Should I just go with the $103 fan or is there a fan available from another source that is cheaper.  I tried the archives, but there is no search function.
