97 K2500 454 7.4l Electric Fans?

[Chutchcroft]

Oil temps in a BBC measured at the #2 #3 & #4 Main bearing shells with lab grade thermocouple run to upperwards of 400 deg F under hi tow loads. Conv oil breaks down at that temp a Synthetic will last.

I will gladly post up some pics. Just Dumped the SPR 54MM TBI for the Holley Terminator setup.

I'm interested in seeing some pictures of this set up.

Would you like photos of the fan and relay setup?

This is data. What RPM was this observed at? I've been toying with the idea of an oil temp gauge for the dually out of unvalidated suspicion that it gets hotter than the small block. Also curious to see a before and after with roller rockers, supposedly they are a significant contributing factor to oil heat. 400 seems excessive even for a synthetic, HTHS is only rated at 150* C.

Anything cooling wise, to get some ideas if I do decide to go the E-fan route. What fan model is on your truck?

My 454 is a Lunati Roller Cam and Harland Sharp Roller Rockers.

I don’t have pre-build data for the oil temps.

I can get the rpm data
