Got a little warm today
Awesome. That's what I'll do then. I'll get out to a salvage yard in the next couple weeks and get a taurus fan shroud and see if that helps... I hate the fan clutch. I know it just works, but I prefer an electric set up.
Remember, That Guy has a 318 compare to your 360 so cooling may not be enough even with taurus fan. Possibly it will be the radiator having to be replaced to accomodate proper cooling with electric fans on a 360 motor.
I did a dual 12 inch push fan and my OEM electric rear pull fan so 3 fan combo and the temperature will not stay within the 180-190 degrees on my 360 when slow driving or stopped with A/C on. Without AC, I am fine.
Dumped the dual 12's pushers and re-installed my HD mechanical fan and everything is working normal.
So let us know the results of your conversion.

that_guyThe Taurus fan will be plenty for the 360. Indy as well as several others run the Taurus fan with it.
On low speed it's fairly quiet, but on high speed it's a bit loud. You can just barely hear it at idle with the windows up. Turn on the radio or start moving and you can't tell it's there.
Well that sounds a lot quieter than my three fans I have. I've got a flowmaster (not sure which one, was on the truck when I bought it and it's pretty loud) and you cant hear the truck over the fans. I hate how loud they are
Ok, this is probably the best video I have of the fan. I was checking what the flow rate of the fan was with and without the radiator in the equation. After I disconnect the extra fan from the battery you can hear the low speed of the taurus fan, and then when I turn the a/c on the high speed is on.

Little update:
Got a fan out of a 93 Taurus. Put the fan in yesterday. I only have low speed right now because I haven't yet wired a big enough power supply for the high speed fan. So that's on it's way. So far though, the low speed only keeps the truck cool (only 80 out today) and keeps my ac cool. And the low speed is way way way quieter than my old fans. The high speed is also quieter (I tested it manually to make sure it works) so a little more wiring and I'm done. After that I'll see how well it works in an Oklahoma summer
