Fan clutch and blade options for 4.6L stroker in CJ7
Posted: June 15th, 2025, 8:19 pm
Hi all,
First time posting here... I recently purchased a used Golen stroker and I am in the process of installing into a CJ7.
As the subject implies, I'm looking for the best option for a mechanical fan blade & clutch that will fit in the CJ fan shroud. I understand they need to be 'reverse rotation' since the water pump is driven by the backside of the serpentine belt.
I was thinking I would order something for the YJ or TJ with the 4.0, but looks like a WJ may also be an option? The WJ clutches I see include an 'Extreme Duty' clutch, but it appears to be deeper, so may eat into clearance with the radiator?
Appreciate any tips.
Cheers!
Jeremy
