Help flex fan rotation question

Getting ready to get a flex fan and just wanted to make sure that the 225 slant doesn't require something wierd like a reverse rotation also anyone else here used a perma cool and liked the results?
Thanks,
Jared

NO, THE PRE-SERPENTINE MOTORS USE THE STANDARD FLEX FAN. tHERE IS A REVERSE ROTATION MODEL, BUT YOU WON'T NEED IT.

Oops, caps lock..


Be prepared though..it works great but makes a lot of noise(because it flows a LOT of air).

Try the plastic one from flex a lite . They are good to 8000 and work great. They dont make a lot of noise either. They flex better at high speed and reduce the noise. We use them on all of our race cars. Reduces load on the water pump too so the bearings will last longer.

That's great I'll make sure and do that Actually plan on getting an Audi TT Turbo to do a custom job for the Dart whenever I get the spare money (college takes a lot of it ) The turbo is matched to a 1.8 liter motor compaired to the 3.7 of the 225 so I'm thinking the spoolup will be pretty good and it puts out 13 on the 1.8. Just have to make sure I get a good wastegate and I might get a second larger turbo just incase this one has trouble but don't think it will. Thinking that I'll get a set of turbos from a 3000gt or a stealth. Don't care which since their the same car It'll be my first pretty much full custom fabrication job so I'm looking forward to it Anyone on here have experience with the super six's exhaust manifold? Are they very strong? Or at least strong enough to support a turbo? Guess I'll find out in the end Can't wait to get that setup finished. I'm going to have a Chrome cold air style cone filter siting right behind the front turn signal figure that'll help the intake temp and I'll be wrapping everything to keep the air from getting hot. Don't think I'll be putting on an intercooler because from what I've read I shouldn't need it buy I might get one later on and see if I can't get a couple extra psi from it What do you all think? Also who makes some good low compression forged pistons for the slant (anyone know?)?
Thanks

Oh and I ended up getting a perma cool. haven't ever heard anything bad and liked the look of them. Friend has a plastic and it did perform well but don't think it looks all that great.
Perma-Cool Hi-Performance Stainless Steel Flex Fan This is the fan I ended up getting (18 in)

Stock slant 6 exhaust manifolds crack real easy. I've had at least three if not 4 over the years that cracked on me. And a couple of friends that cracked too. When they crack I go get a set of headers for it and solved the problem forever.
