Actually there is an alternate fan. Part number is 320367 is a larger fan. I had one of these, NOS, for evaluation and conversation purposes, and succumbed to the plea from Jack Kruse, a 36-120 owner in Fernandina Beach, FL for this fan, as he is a real stickler for Concours Correct. It is currently on "loan" to him, and on his car that Used to overheat in city driving. Jack is not on this forum, so if you wanted to see this fan, suggest you contact him directly, he should be able to send you a picture and report on its efficacy.

Independently, Its like calling your doctor saying my stomach hurts and expecting a diagnosis without further info - overheating can have many causes, so please give us more clues to further assist. Condition of motor, known history/recent service, radiator condition, etc. Once upon a time I got so frustrated with a 36-120 overheating that I sold it. Gone, Period. Then I was offered the chance to buy it back....anyway, long story short, the root cause of it running poorly was the "choke" flap in the exhaust manifold was stuck in the closed position.

More information please.
