How much CFM do i need?

I was just wondering how much CFM I need. I'm putting an electric fan on my truck because the stock fan keeps hitting my radiator. The truck is a 1996 Ford F-150 with the 300/6cyl. Also, how big of fan should I buy? Thanks!

With electrics, more is always better. The dual fan set up is pricey but it also moves the most air. Installing a single fan will work dependening upon your application. Be careful with the ones that zip tie through your rad. If there is any play they will eventually cut through it.

If you have room, you could always a install a puller on the inside and a pusher on the outside of the radiator.
