LT1S10- not to hijack this thread, but I'm interested in why you opted for a 1993 Taurus fan. Other than the air it moves, is there any other reasons for this choice? Also, you wouldnt happen to have the dimensions for it would you? I'm wondering if it will fit behind a 32' Ford radiator...I just dont want to go the Hayden route again.

Thanks,

i use a fan out of a 1990 to 1995 taurus 3.8 V6, because it was the size i need + it has a high or low speed motor built in. it pulls only 14 amps on low and 31 amps on high. i dont know the size of it right off and its not here right this min. but im using a radiator out of a 1985 to 1989 corvette and it fits perfect. it moves about as much air as the high doller after market one on low and i paid 50.00 for it. ive never had the hi side hooked up. they say the high side moves a lot more air than any after market fan. its 4-1/2" deep. which is all of the room i had. i do have ac. its the best elec. fan that ive ever used and ive used a lot of dif ones.
