    and heres a picture of the fan. its from a 1993 Taurus. it seems like it pulls more air, but the motor looks to be the same aize and has the same plug. it does have a full shroud and 6 blades though. so even if it doesnt pull more air, i do believe it will cool better. i also...

    So I have the 3G wiring down, and have a plan for it. Now I'm just trying to figure out the fan. We have no good junkyards around here and I just ordered a new fan relay. Is there a way to use the current one? Or am I going to have to Hastle with returning it (rockauto) and ordering a different...

    im sure i'll love it, i ran one on my 92 5.0 F150 and on my 2000 5.4 F150 along with the Mark VIII fan currently. im not new to modding, just this little 2.3L thats why im not excited about wiring for the fan: ive done it before and am not a fan of it. lol

    yeah, to be honest these stock alternators scare me enough stock, let alone putting a bigger fan on. we had problems alst week with my girlfriends 92 2.3 alternator not being strong enough.

    yeah, i did get the fan. now i just need alternator and assorted parts for that swap. so some people hook the fuse up to the relay? im not too worried about the alternator, more so about the fan. and yeah, if i use that fuse i'll power the alternator and amp off of it

    so im bidding on an early 90's Taurus fan and a 3G alternator, so hopefully both will come through. not excited about playing with more wiring after going through it with the F150, but it seems to be a must. and seeing as i just ordered a new relay im going to try to use it opposed to buying...

    Wow, so the AC will not work without fan upgrade? I just ordered a new relay for my current fan and hopefully that will fix that issue. Then I will worry about upgrading the fan. That just doesn't seem to make sense. Also going to need to replace shocks, my fronts are pretty well frozen. And...

    And I know AC is a broad thing, just meant are there any specific things to these 2.3 foxes I should look for. The AC clutch was engaging

    Also, pertaining to AC. I just dis one of the little 134a conversions, and my AC isn't working. It shows full pressure, but no cold. I r never worked on AC before and really don't want to get raped at a shop

    Hmm, fan project may wait a little bit. I've got a ton already planned. But if I run across a fan for a good deal I'll be sure to grab it. Most of them on eBay at the moment are a bit high compared to what I paid for mine. Going to drop off the flywheel to get it re-surfaced tomorrow and pick up...

    i know the Mark VIII fan kicks ass, im running one on my 5.4 F150 :nice: i just wasnt sure if it would be "too" strong for this little 2.3. also, will it bolt right up? after the PITA i had wiring the controller and fan on the F150, im really not looking to get into that again. im assuming...

    I'm also going to put a new water pump on, and was hoping to under drive the accessories with new pulleys at the same time. So if anyone has a 87-90 2.3 Mustang or 87-88 T-Coupe water pulley, 3.8 V6 Mustang Power steering or alternator, or a dual belt ranger crank pulley please let me know. I've...

    Ahh, thanks! I figured they were the same. And got the Mustang home today! Gonna start tearing the transmission out and get moving. Need to drop off the flywheel to get re-surfaced and waiting on the pedals, and assorted parts like shifter boot, speedo gear, etc. Also had a very strange...
