'67-'68 Chevrolet 5-Blade Clutch Fan

[scuncio]

I have a good original 5-blade, 4-rivet, 3" inner diameter fan with an original Schweitzer clutch that needs rebuilding. I will also include a brand new Eaton style fan clutch. Fan itself is clean and would only need to be stripped and repainted.

This is the fan that looks 95% like the original '67-68 L78/Z28 fans but costs around 1/10 the price. I finally found the correct fan for my Z so this one is up for sale.

Looking for $225 shipped for the whole deal. I can get pics for those interested.

Pics please.

Could you please show the difference between the two? I'm looking for the 67 Hipo fan also for my 67.
Thanks, Steve.

Its the spacing of the bolt holes.

Sure, I will get pics of both today.

3 VS. 3.25" bolt spacing is one feature but 4 and 5 rivet count is another. I read somewhere that very late 67 L78's were built with the smaller 3" spacing and 5 rivets for a period of time.
It was on one of the Camaro sites and cannot find it for the life of me.

Here are a few pics to help distinguish this fan (which I believe is from a 1967 327 Corvette) from the '67-68 Z/28 and L78 fan. If I hadn't run across the correct fan for a great price I would have gladly used this one on my Z.

First pic is the view you would see once the fan is installed. Hi-po fan is on the left. Not a heck of a lot of difference except the hi-po fan clutch is a bit bigger.


Second pic is taken from the radiator side of the fan. Hi-po fan is on the left.


Third pic shows the clutch diameter of the fan that's for sale:


Fourth pic shows the clutch diameter of the hi-po fan:


Fifth pic shows both fans have the 'W' stamping on the hub.


Next pic shows the 3" bolt circle diameter of the fan that's for sale:


Next pic shows the 3.25" bolt circle diameter of the hi-po fan:
