90-95 is the model year for the Taurus fans. Be sure to get one from a V6 model. Supposedly 2,500 CFM on low, 4,500 on high. I have one installed on the truck. It does move quite a bit of air and the built in shroud covers just about all of the radiator so it's drawing that air over most of the surface like it needs to. It has no trouble keeping my .030 over 401 cool so far. But I don't have too many miles on it yet. The ~40-50 highway miles I have on it the thermostat stayed under 220.REDONE wrote:So you know the consensus is that electric fans suck (or don't suck enough, depending on your perspective) but you're determined to run one anyways? That's ok, I run electric fans too.
Granted, I'm running them on a 304, but it works.
In days past, the fans to have we're junkyard fans off a Ford Taurus, but I don't know the year/trim to look for. That should get you started on a Google search though.
Mine are massive flow (1800 I think?)16" Haydens, one pusher, one puller, offset. Manual trans and no AC, so all they do is cool the engine. Sometimes in the desert they're barely enough.
Huh, idk what I'm doing on my big block then with the contour fans and a FSJ radiator. Works great, in 100* heat in North Carolina last year fans would come on and off, didn't even struggle.csuengr wrote:The Contour fan set up is crap.
When was the last time you pulled a 4000 lb trailer over a 12,000+ ft pass?WT91 wrote:Huh, idk what I'm doing on my big block then with the contour fans and a FSJ radiator.

To each their own I suppose.
The electric fans in the newer vehicles are a crap load better than what you can buy aftermarket.sonoraed wrote:I installed A/C in a 2010 Wrangler last year and wired into the factory electric fan and was really impressed with the airflow matter of fact it was so good that the fan pressure switch i installed was going nuts turning the fan on and off rapidly , finally disconnected the oem fan from the a/c and added a smaller fan in front of the condenser that would push less air and didn't make so much noise cycling on/off
