Anybody running an electric fan to replace the stock crank driven fan? What are you running? What about wiring?

 

Do a search in this forum for "Mark VIII fan" You'll come up with some good info.............

 

The Mark VIII fan is the only way to go. I have mild 460 in this 90 plus weather I have yet to get over 190 degrees. Takes the worry out of sitting at lights or traffic.

 

I'm going with a Taurus fan on mine.

 

If you cant find a mark VIII fan they also came in 94-96 t-birds. Here's a pic of what your looking for.



And here's the pic of the mounting bracket I made

Hope this helps.

 

oh, so the back up fan from my 95 town car should be just the ticket....

my 78 f150 /302 came with what i think is a taurus fan .... its mounted with strapping , and the wiring is mainlined directly into the ignition switch......needs to be entirely rethunk

 

Thanks for all the info.... Ak..... Do you know the approx dimensions of those brackets you made? What about wiring? Is this something I can junkyard too? What year mark VIIIs?

 

And what about the Tarus fan? What years on them?

 

I will have to remeasure it I forgot the dimensions here is some more pics for you


The fan an bracket installed


The two relays for high an low

The 3G alternator conversion which is necessary for the amp draw from efan

 

Mid 90's Taurus's and Sables. You do have to make sure you get the fan from a car with a 3.8 engine. I have one from a Sable in my 77 with a 302.

As far as the wiring from the JY I'd say you can get some, but you need around an 80 amp continuous duty solenoid or breaker to run the high setting (which it seems like no one who does this conversion needs the high setting). I did get my regular relay's from a Taurus SHO and the sable, though.
