Im getting a new radiator and dont want to run those cheap looking plastic retainers for my cooling fan thru the radiator. does anyone sell a decently priced fan that mounts with some bolts?

Not that I know of, unless maybe you go search through random cars at the junkyard you'll have to make your own. Just get some thin aluminum strips, and bend them to how you want....

I used a piece of 1 inch aluminum L at the bottom, and small bolts at the top.



Thats a MarkVIII fan

Thats how I did it, and I shoved t atab on tha shroud between the endtank and the core, then got a piece of metal fo the other side, screwed it to the frame rail, and it's holding down that side of than fan.

Once it starts warming up around here I will be putting in my Mark VII fan.....I found it in a junkyard, and had to get it

A trip to Home Depot for some aluminum angle will get you the raw material you need. A hacksaw or electric sabre saw will cut it to whatever size you need to succeed.

By far the best and longest lasting unit I have found..(have had it in for 4 yrs) is
the electric fan found in the 97 lincoln town car, it fit into the stock mustang shroud.
This fan is designed to run contiuously..and 4 yrs of eveyday (except for winter) proves beyond doubt that this is a great unit and readily available either new or used. even with underdrives it keeps things cool

blackfox---u didnt hold it down with anything on teh bottom? my taurus fan was shot and it was a tad bit of a tight fit so i dunno if im gonna go with that again. Are u putting in a mark VII or u meant to type VIII? how much that run u? and do u know the clearance between the fan and the WP pulley? my taurus was like less than a 1/4 inch

I have a little over 1/4" of space between my taurus fan and the pulley.

I meant the electric Mark 8 Fan It only cost me $50 from the junkyard. It was off a '94 Mark VIII

Don't laugh at the pic. I know it is a chevy. I built this stand and also made mount out of anlge to hold a corvette elect. fan. Works good for what I am using it for. I will be adapting this stand to run fords as well

thanks for all the pics. i threw my stock clutch fan back on until i can make something that looks good. surprisingly it cleared the 8-rib vortech pulley without a problem. what kind of overflow tanks (catch can) are you using?

I was wondering what electric fan will fit between a brass 3 core rad and a vortech 8 rib pulley? Taurus? Mark VIII? I want to get rid of the stock clutch fan..Any info...
