Does Anyone Know Of Good Aftermarket Cooling Fan?

[larryford]

I am a TOYOTA service technician, and the other day a customer brought in a Tacoma with a FLEX-A-LITE twin electric fan. The fit and finish was really good. Good "full radiator contact" and high CFM. I contacted Flex A Lite to inquire if they had one like this for the '79-'93 Mustangs, and they were really no help. Does anyone have any input on this?

I currently have an '86 GT with a TAURUS fan.

thanks

I dont know about Flex-a-lites personally (though it seems like more than a few guys run them on their stangs), but SPAL makes some nice (and low profile) fans.

I am an OEM kind of guy and were I choosing a fan for the stang, it would be a Viper fan or a Mark VIII fan. Both were ~150 bucks new last time I checked (little while ago).

Is your Taurus fan a 3.8L fan? Are you not happy with it? (just curious to hear gripes or kudos from folks).

Good luck.

flex-a-lite does make a specific fan for the 87-93 5.0l. they call it the black magic fan. i have one that was a prototype and have had it for ten years with no problems. check summit, they carry the fan.

You can use a fan out of a Dodge Viper. Do a search on here and the guy that did it has a ton of pics. Moves a good deal of air, as it should.

spal
derale
ramchargers
one from a tuarus 3.8
one from a lincoln MK8

these seem to be the top choices for fans latley.

the flexlite are way overpriced. Get an SHO fan from the junkyard for alot cheaper and it will pull more air than the flexlite.

SPAL fully shrouded dual 11" - I use one on mine and it's truly a remarkable set up. Toyota-OEM quality and fit/finish/performance. www.spal-usa.com

And to control any fan you end up with, try one of these - www.dccontrol.com

Send me a pm if you'd like to see a pic or two of the dual SPAL set up on mine.

Dual spal 11", Taurus, Mark VIII and possibly a viper fan if you don't mind fabricating some brackets. I did the viper fan for the hell of it but any of those would be great options. Back it up with a dc controler and you are set.
