I just pulled the fan off and got these part numbers off it...there is a ford emblem on them so I believe it to be OEM. Does anybody know how to decipher this shit??

PA66- (GF+M)-38
ARMC- PN-021802800

I would think 2800 CFM??

Thoughts??

I highly doubt it's 2800cfm for some reason... I did a quick check on google trying to find some info to no avail.

pm'd... you better write down the # this time you bastard.

spend the $$$$ and get an edelbrock water pump, take it apart and polish the rough casting on the inside. water is like air, it flows better on a smooth surface. It works wonders.......

With my turbo, I can grill steaks with the under hood temps but the engine runs at 186-190. I'm running a North aluminum radiator with about 80% distilled water, 20% antifreeze and a bottle f Purple Ice. I also have a Lincoln MK VIII electric fan pulling the air through two tranny coolers, a P/S cooler and the Intercooler. If that bitch can run cool, anything can. Try throwing wome Redline Water Wetter of rPurple Ice into the coolant mix. It does help.

Is that a 4 core rad?? It kinda looks like a two core. My car runs 180 pretty much all the time. I have a Northern 4 core alum rad with dual elect fans.
