e-fan suggestions..??????
anyone want to suggest a vehicle that has a decent size single fan on it for the e-fan conversion???? I was measuring around the junk yard and it seems all the Ford double fans are too long to fit... but all the single ford fans seem a bit too small for a truck application... I was thinking maybe a jeep? I don't know outside chevy or dodge vehicles very well so any suggestions on a large single fan would be welcome...
my yard typically has mid 80's to mid/late 90 cars and trucks...

Thanks guys... 2 quick questions...
1.) how big are the 3.0L Tauras fans? (thought they were only 10-12in?)
2.) is wiring them in hard? (just got the 130amp alt done so ready too add more electric stuff...)

Taurus or Lincoln MarkVIII fan. I have a MarkVIII two speed fan and wiring is simple. I use a Hayden Imperial controller to trip a relay that powers that fan. The fan has three plugs...two for power, one high, one low, and then the ground. You also need to add a diode between power and ground. There are numerous ways to configure wiring and control your fan for one or two speeds. Lots of info out on the internet wiring these fans. Both have plenty of CFM.

A good fan to use for our F-trucks is the Caddy fan from the mid 80's seville type land yachts.
The joy with these is they have a built-in thermal switch and go on and off automatically, making your wiring hassle that much less of a hassle.
When they kick on, they draw less then 30A and typically draw about 18A running. Not unreasonable at all.
