i dont know what the cfm rating is but the fan on my mach1 blows more air than my buddys 2100 cfm fan he has on his 68 cougar
the reason i ask is because i have a slightly modded 95 v6 and i just think i might put the sn95 shrouded fan and stick it on my .060 302 89 and put either a stock fan back on the 95 or put on 2 other electric fans that i have on the 95. the sn95 fan is shrouded and it would clean up the 89's look under the hood. it may be dumb to pull something off of a perfectly good car,(except for the bad fuel pump and rotted out mufflers and hanging driver's side tailpipe) but i need to cool this 89 down some.

I don't know the cfm's but I'm using the fan with no problems and my car is mildly modded. But I also have a huge radiator too. Before when the car was stock (and stock radiator) the fan worked just fine with no problems. Ran too cool until I put the temp switch on there.
well i have a radiator from a 90 ford truck. it has 1 1 inch core and is longer and a little taller than the stock mustang one. i did have a 3 core from an 82 truck and it was cool until the fan hit it. i was dumb and did not bolt the bottom down and then i punch the gas and the radiator swayed into the fan. but it may be able to fix. not worth it i don't think since i can get a summit aluminum for 170.

I'm running the summit and it's a great radiator. You should'nt have a problem running that fan and radiator. You can take a look at my setup in my sig. Hit the link.

I do have a small pic of how I wired the fan in the link, page 8. I used two relays that I bought myself so I don't think you need to get the one out of the car. But it might work for you.
edit: The pic is at the bottom of page 8 but I also have 2 links on that page for electric fan install. Might help you out.

I believe that the two power wires are for high and low speed or when the a/c is on. I'm not sure since I didn't use the plug at all. I just found the ground and the high speed power and used those two terminals. All you need is the ground and power.
the SN fans have their own relay package (CCRM) - using your own stuff is smart.
the high speed threshold for the fans (if using their set up) is 208* - not cool. the ECT sends the signal for fan switching.
be sure to wire in a circuit breaker, as the motors have been known to short out.

I'd wire it up with this device at dccontrol.com. I just lost my sn/95 fan, didn't realize it, and it took the motor with it.

This is the route I'm going when I get a few extra bucks.
BTW: Did your fan burning out have anything to do with the way you wired it or was it just it's time?

The fan was only 3 months old, and it's hard to tell where the problem was. I spoke with the installer who said he has never seen this before and never had a problem with the setup that was done. The dc control unit is real easy to hookup, so I figured I wasn't going to gamble another engine.

I have a light riged up to my relays so it lets me know when the fan comes on. But there is a kink in that. The light is going to light up once the relay gets power. So if the fan motor was to burn out then I wouldn't know because the light will still be on due to power still being sent to the relay. The only way I truely know when the fan is running is when I get that sudden drop in voltage.
