    Do you guys think replacing the old fan with an electric one will help with performance?

    It will probably give a little better engine response. But with the required engine temperature sensor, extra wiring, plus added load on the alternator, I don't know if it would be worth the bother. Check it out and report back.

    Did you end up getting anything OP?
    Details?

    I'm looking into a setup for down the road. Cost + effort + less reliable are all strikes against upgrading to a nice electric fan that is dual speed and has AC switch control and a reliable temp control feature (inline water temp switch)
