Default I've had the fan compare to being followed by a plane.

Hi Jordan

I've had people who I has following tell me the fan sounds like they are being followed closely by airplane. I've also learned that when a Chevrolet CMP gets quite driving down the highway that you have lost the fan belt.

One point I would mention for anyone playing mix and match with crank shaft and fan pulley needs to be careful as the stock CMP fan pulley is slightly smaller than the crank pulley, while the latter 216 engines the fan water pump pulley is significantly smaller. This can result in fan being dramatically over speed. (I've done it)

Glad you are getting to the point when you can enjoy driving after all your hard work.


Cheers Phil
