I stumbled upon this and thought I would post a link in case this is a possible alternative to a junkyard part? http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-Ford-Mus...0AAOSwGIRXbBRn

 

People use the j/y fans for many reasons, one of which is they seem well designed and therefore last. I've had mine for 5 years w/o issue--although I did pull an extra motor, which I think is always a good policy with j/y parts.

The Taurus fan is popular b/c of its durability and output (2500 cfm on low; 4500 cfm on hign!)and that is darn near impossible to match. The Volvo fan uses the same motor as the Taurus fan, but has slightly smaller fan radius, and you can get the super trick Volvo relay pack that switches from low to high, switching off the low when going to high.

The fan you linked to ia a single speed fan with 6 blades. The Taurus fan has 9 blades. I would guess that fan produces fan less cfm (like 1800-1900). I would further guess that if you do any hauling/towing, that fan would not be adequate. I'd bet that on a hot summer day you'd be maxing out that fan.
