the 4 blade fans on the luvs don't have a clutch, the 6 blade fans off the later pups have a clutch.

6 blade plastic fan. The clutch I got from o-reillys and had to do away with an adapter plate that was on my fan.

yeah my buddies Z is a fuel injected one. It dosnt run so i towed it for him whith my luv, he got it for $250 8O . We were kinda poking around at it this summer but didnt realy get anywhere. I am lost when it comes to FI, though now that i have been through my 90 troopers motor i have some understanding of it :)
Oh is the FI on the Z mechanical or computer?

Its computer it has a fuel injection brain under the drivers side kick panel, if it isnt running the first thing you might want to check is if the distributer cap is cracked, I guess there notorious for that. It costs like $7.00

All of them that I have seen have been bolted on. That is not to say that you couldn't take that off and put on a thermo unit. I think it might even give you a little better cooiling performance.
