E-Fan Conversion

[fastford04]

Well I was going to do a flex fan swap but now once I found an seen the price of the adapters I believe ive decided to just go ahead an do the Efan.
What i need to know is if theres a certain year specific vehicle that works best with the 88 bronco 2's or a certain brand an size i need to look for and find?
Thanks For All the help

just need a certain amount of cfm, like 1,600 or somethin close. its the amount of air moved by the fan. maybe a 16inch fan

If you are going to do an E fan, get a Taurus fan. They are 2 speed and pull a ton of air.

Well my clutch fan broke this last Friday (stuck fully engaged, really noisy and quite an engine drag). So I decided to switch to an electric puller along with my electric pusher, and I just wanted all you 2.9 guys and gals to know that a 16 inch electric will actually fit on that little radiator, barely but it fits. The removal of the clutch fan and its shroud also clears up a ton of room in the front of the engine. My engine is no longer equipped with A/C, but with the 16 inch puller and a 12 inch pusher, I could basically keep the engine at almost any temperature desired by turning off and on fans (had to turn the big electric off for a while to even get the temp above 180). As far as performance gains, the jury is still out since I just did this Saturday, but it definitely couldn't hurt the horsepower any, and could only help. Plus the extra room in that tight engine compartment is almost worth the change in itself.
