I used a five blade 13 inch diameter flex fan on my 2.8 liter Alpine.
I forget the exact brand of the fan but it works much better than the
electric fan option. We tried electric fans (which only worked
marginally) but found out after some calculations that the flex fan
consumed about 3 horsepower at full speed while the electric fans
typically have only 1/10 to 1/4 HP available. Its no wonder that the
flex fan can pull a lot more air.

Good luck with your Alpine !
