<VV> fanz

Then could probably be handled with a stock charging system and a period 55 
amp "a/c" 10DN Delcotron replacing the 37 amp unit (just has a different 
stator and armature - regulator is voltage driven so is not affected). I 
would be tempted to convert to an internally regulated 10SI in 80 or 105 
amp range though so would be able to interchange with my other cars.  120 
amp might be a bit of overkill. "One size fits all" can be useful in 
spares. Wonder if you could stack two fans and normally run in series at 
half speed. Current would drop considerably and fan life would extend 
dramatically (probably important - the General turns FWD fans off at about 
50 mph and relies on the airflow alone).
