Well the Mark VIII and 4.6 T-bird/Cougar Fan is the best, but it may not fit with your s/c setup. The 3.8 Taurus fan it cools great too and you might have better luck getting it in. I have both a Mark VIII fan and a Taurus, I couldnt get the Mark to fit. I thought about modifying the shroud to offset it and get off my WP pulley; but I saved the work and went for plan B... the Taurus fan.
What years markvii and taurus? what year viper hissin?
are you using the taurus shroud too? i need to put a new fan and shroud in mine, and need something that will line up on the frpp rad.
Spal Dual 11" Best money can buy.
i have had luck with 01-02 dodge intrepid dual fan , and my 95 mustang fan, i have a vortech and with the 94-95 mustang fan i have about 1" of clearance and with the intrepid fan there was no clearance issues at all
The dual Intrepid fans have been reported to flow around 2,750 to 3,000 cfm. IMHO, that sounds just about right for their size and motor (and 2 fans).Do you have pics of the Intrepid fan? I was looking through a bunch of Dodge's at the junkyard and noticed there are a LOT of duel fan options on various cars but i don't know about cooling ability for them (cfm).
I've also heard that a SVT Focus duel fan setup is awesome but where do you find something like that?
Of course, it depends on the years.I believe the Taurus is up around 3800cfm anyways...well above most aftermarket fans.
Also, I wanted to add, that unless someone has been in rush-hour traffic like Boston, NY, LA, etc, then they likely don't have a clue on how much stress that puts on a car's cooling system with the AC on full!
And, sorry, 120F temps in Nevada, etc, again, do not compare to the cooling demands that a car in hot non-moving city bumper-to-bumper traffic (for 45+ mins) has to handle!
Outside 120F temps are nothing compared to the hot exhausts coming from cars and SUVs with their AC on full.
Still, with the above said, my guess is that unless you're putting out ~350+HP, a fan setup with 2,700 cfm should be fine, even for bad city traffic.
Of course, it depends on the years.
NOTE: The ramchargers are basically impossible to get anymore!
Here's some good info:

Fan Info
Looking for an electric fan upgrade to install this summer to solve your overheating problems, ... Let me first say that I personally run one of these Mark VIII fans in my 1992 GT with a DCC and it works awesome and is in my opinion the best setup to go with. I have a buddy with a 700rwhp 03 Cobra that also runs one of my Mark VIII fans and it works awesome for him too. I have personally flow tested all 4 of these fan types to find out the actual CFM flow and the Mark VIII and Taurus (Taurus and Mark VIII fans have same motor) fans flow about 4500 CFM and some have done about 4900CFM. The older style Dual Ramcharger style fans flow about 3500-4000CFM and the newer Y2K Ramchargers flow about 3000-3500. All 4 fans are dual speed fans also.
.... fans unmodified, trimmed, or with custom stainless steel brackets to bolt right into a 5.0 (as long as you have the stock radiator or an aftermarket radiator with factory mounting points). For the Mark VIII fans with custom brackets, the J-clips at the bottom of the radiator need to be trimmed by .5", which is very simple and only takes some tin snips to do.
The Ramcharger style fans do not go all the way to the bottom of the radiator, so I suggest using some through-radiator ties to hold it flush against the radiator. I can setup the Ramcharger style fans with the brackets on either side of the fan so that the wiring can either be at the top or bottom, or on the older style Ramcharger changing bracket sides would make is that the taller fan motor can be either on the passenger side or drivers side. i.e. in the pictures below, the fan is setup so that the wiring is on the top and the taller fan motor is on the drivers side, but could be reversed
The Taurus fans ... do not sell with custom brackets because I find that most people prefer to use the through-radiator ties with it, though I do not recommend using those to fully mount and hold a fan to the radiator.
