Got a E-fan

Went to the local Pick-n-Pull and snagged me a e-fan out of a 90 Taurus , it is a single fan w/ shroud , was wondering what the easiest or the best way ,(open to pretty much any suggestions), this a project that I am gonna do in the next few weeks , so there is no big rush as I am planning on putting my MSD

in tomorrow.Oh it is the one from a 3.8L, almost forgot to mention that.

Did you get the alternator from the same taurus? (You will need it) You can also get the fan controller and about a foot of the harness and connector too. The controller has the HD relay for the fan in it. Check my tech gallery for help with wiring etc. Good luck. I tried # 10 wire and it wasn't large enough. This can be a challenging project. I gave up on the taurus fan and am giong with aftermarket fans. I ordered them today. Also Skandocious has some info on this conversion.

You gotta tell me how you want it to work and I can help you from there.

For starters I can give you some links to sites that have good Taurus fan walkthroughs:
http://www.fullsizebronco.com/forum/...ad.php?t=40564
http://s-seriesforum.com/how-to-efan.html
http://www.fordmuscle.com/archives/2...cfan/index.php
http://go.jeep-xj.info/howtoTaurusFanInstall2.htm

Although some of those don't necessarily apply to our specific trucks, they are very informative and helped me immensely as I tried to learn how this whole project works.

Mike, get a picture of that fan up on the forum here so I can make sure it's the same as the one I got, 2-speed that is. Make sure to get a picture of the wiring in the picture

Chris, the pic in the fullsizebronco forum, the one where it says the "tuarus fan fits perfect " that's the one.

The way radialarm has it hooked up is way to complicated than what I need , I just need it to come w/ the A/C and when I sit in traffic, I don't know if it a 2 speed or not ,
And I still have the 95 amp alt,

HMMM, don't know if I want to go thru with this project seems alot of hassle for just a little MPG and a tiny bit of power.Gonna put this on hold til I get some help( not really electrically inclined), and not much money to spare on the extra's that are required , I just got done buying a MSD system , well had the 6a already but the wires .coil and such set me back a little. So thanks for helping , and might need it later on.
