Do you have a stock radiator?

If so,then just get a Ford Taurus 3.8 e fan.. I have one ill trade something to you for..
If you have a fluidine or koyo,buy a nice fan with manual thermostat.. also do you run the stock belly pan? it does help with cooling..

flex a lite black magic 150 comes with all the relays thermostat and wires needed to do a proper efan install. been running it on my na for over a year now and couldnt be any better. plan to use on my t2 once it runs better.

if u had the stock radiator,the 3.8 is enough for what you need and you wont be braking your pocket.. but I wouldnt put that on a fluidine.. try to look for a fan that has more of a shroud on it.. and the manual thermostat

i have my stock shroud and and uprgraded e-fan.. it works good but now with the front mount its a bit higher and i want it to stay low.. i see a few pics of a carbonfiber thing that goes on top by the hood latch i might invest in one of those..

Everyone goes with Flex-a-lite..... i guess go with what you know.. I have been suggesting SPAL electric fans...very thin and pull alot of CFM. I have been running a SPAL ran on my turbo setup with a OEM style radiator with a 180 degree thermostat. This also includes the heat from the turbo seeings I have the water cooled center section. I have yet to have a heating problem.
