Since we are on the subject of electric fans...

[MIDNIGHT RIDER]

These fans are rated at 3000CFM on HIGH, they were available in the Cougars, early Taurus', and T-birds.

Pray tell, what year models did these come on ??

What is the diameter of the blades ??


I used to think that any Taurus with a 2.8 had the good fans, but I am seeing some Taurus fans that don't seem so good.

I know that some models of them had some really good fans.

I wanna say 16 inch.....mine came off of a late early 90's model cougar so year range is gonna be hit and miss depending on car.

What year-model is this Roadmaster ??

What years had this fan set-up ??

Thanks.

The ones I am sure are electric fan cooled are 94-5-6, I believe Cheby Caprice classic in the same year were set up the same. With all the options Id think they stand a good chance of doing the job. It would seem a Gas V8 would run hotter idiling than a deisel ford .

That would also be my thoughts.

A gas-burner tends to over-heat when idling; whereas, the vast amount of air that a diesel intakes tends to bring their temperatures down quicker when idling than when shut down.

I'm very much considering an electric fan conversion in the near future, as the locked up fan that I run now makes a whole lot of noise at 2500 rpm where I normally cruise at with the C6 going 65 mph. I also think its partly whats keeping my mpg's low.

If I had an overdrive and ran less than 2k rpms, I'd keep it on there.
