Mark VIII Cooling Fan Question

I've owned MANY fox bodies and this is my first venture into the gen 1 stang. I am very happy so far, but I have a question regarding the Mark VIII fan; I used it in a few fox bodies w/stroker motors w/much compression producing a lot of heat. They work great to keep the car very cool in the AZ heat. Question is why don't I see anyone in the gen 1 using the fan? I've done search's on the board and see ppl talking about it, but nobody actually using one.

I have a stroked 351 going into the 65, I am cutting some of the fan area out for more 'exposure' and going w/a Ron Davis, slightly larger than stock, radiator. I want to run a Mark VIII fan, due to its ability to suck in air at an amazing rate. Anyone use one? If so how much fabrication? FYI I am asking as this is a couple of months down the road, but not better time then the present to plan

For max cooling nothing beats the Mark VIII. Sure it draws ~100A at start up, runs a solid 30A while running, but it's CFM is hard to beat. The Taurus fan shares the same motor, but has a much different blade; the MVIII blade allows the increased air flow.
The fans are popular here in the AZ heat; 110+ during the summer time. My last 3 high compression stroked fox bodies all had them in it and helped keep the cars 180*-190*. All other fans mentioned are either marginal, at best, or can't move enough air. In other places they might work tho. I'm really not interested in using another fan as I have a 378, 11:1, big cam motor going in my 65 and need max air flow. I'm gonna have to do some measuring, cutting, and more measuring. I'm fairly sure it will fit; I'll take pics and measurements as I go for others.

Luis, the RD rads you saw are in excess of 600$. I talked to them last week and almost crap my pants when I was told the price. I'm going w/the standard fox body fan. I have a brass 3-core here to mock up. Waiting on an extra Mark VIII from Paul #1. Good thing I have the MIG.
