Having an electric fan that will run all the time should go a long way to reduce the heat produced by your 1934 Plymouth coupe. As long as the vehicle runs on a 12 volt system then an electric fan kit will work well for you. I know a lot of older vehicles used 6 volt systems and/or positive ground so an electric fan would not work with either or those.

I recommend a fan that will move the most air. We have fans capable of 4,000 cubic feet per minute. I have included a link to them to the right for you. You will need to determine the best option based on the available space in the engine compartment and dimensions of each option.

An engine oil cooler is something else you might want to look at. I have included a link to the oil cooler options we carry as well. I have also included links to help articles on oil coolers and electric fans for you.
