Good information. I'd recommend running your bolts from inside with the nuts outside. We lost a radiator when a nut came loose, hit the fan blades, and went into the radiator. 😢 The hole was on the engine side of the radiator going towards the bumper.
I need an electric fan on my 1974 am general truck. The gawt damn 6 blade mechanical just ain't cutting it anymore in summer. Temps 92-102. Engine overheats . Straight 6. My radiator is 16.5" wide x 15.5" tall. Motor side, once 6 blade removed I only have about 2.25" clearance. 😢
The one to get is the 1995 T.BIRD with 4.6 i run just the hi speed 60 amp relay, themal swith and a circuit braker to stop back feeding when the engin is switched off.
I've been looking for an electric fan conversion for my Volvo for a long time. Never really found one I liked. I really like your video. I like it when people think outside the box, and start macgyvering to make things work . I found a fan assembly on RockAuto. I do not know the dimensions of the shroud assembly. Could you please give me the height and width measurements ? Thanks,
My biggest problem is the width. Space between the radiator and the engine (the pulleys) is only 3.33" in my car. This alone caused me grief and made my life miserable (LOL). Any idea how thick the assembly is? If it's too thick I hope I can cut it thinner without the fan reaching the radiator to damage it (which happened to me twice now). Great vid, BTW.
I put an 18" Lincoln fan in my 1993 Jimmy. It was like a different truck afterward. No more fan roar and a/c worked great in traffic.
I have a 93 Sonoma I'm looking to do something similar to. What year and model Lincoln was the fan from?

This is a great option to put in the mind toolbox. I’d always heard Lincoln Mark VIII fans would blow your hair back.

It's awesome that some parts are interchangeable.
The biggest gains is when you take all that weight off the water pump bearings. Helps the water pump last much longer.

Very nice, great video, I remember when I had no fans and was looking.
Great work. Very Nice attention to detail.
Pretty cool.... tHanks for the video
SOON AS YOU SAID DORMAN YOU LOST ME
Caps lock broken?
Great vid....thanks for sharing : ) Jay.
Nice work

Very nice!👍✌
Shame it’s so thick, that was an issue in my installation. I had to buy two thin spals and stagger them.
Excellent
Ecoboost trucks come stock with electric fans.
Consider the savings. 😊
Do you have a video on how you wired it up and what kind of thermostat switch you used or any of that?????

Is there wiring tutorial for this fan to work with low speed and high speed
me and my buddy were just taliking about these!
They work well!
You didnt run it????
How about the Crown vic police interceptor fan? Is it.comparable?
I haven't tried that one yet, but I know those things are very durable and efficient.
I'm doing a Ls3 swap in my 03' Vic. I am hoping the stock radiator and fan are sufficient. N/A build so hopefully lol
What year was the Taurus ?
93 3.8
what controler did you used for it to handle the dual speed
I personally used a switch and relay
is there a tutorial to wire it up?
Any electric fan schematic will work
Could it work on my ford ranger 3.0l 98?
Absolutely, probably be easier
