I'll have to go lookin fer lincolns. thanks for that tip.

 

yeah its the mark VIIIs from like 93-98....all of em had 4.6s.....80s-90s 3.8 taurus's are supposed to have really good fans also

 

where did you get those cfm #'s? seems extremly high. my flexalite flows 3300 cfm and never gets hot either. as long as you go over 3000 cfm you will be ok. even when towing on the hottest days. i think even a couple guys are using some that flow 2500 cfm. i donnt know if they tow though.

 

heres an idea why dosen't someone put up some pics so we all can see what is looks like? the more the better!

 

i will in the mornin if my yard has a lincoln....ive heard the same about the cfms on other sites.....

 

heres a pic of one

 

is this in the DYI?

 

Hey, Im looking to do this when I get back up north. Got one more winter to get thru in Fairbanks, AK. Did anybody notice a mpg increase? I can see maybe 1to2 mpg and maybe a slightly quicker throttle response.....but what have you guys noticed?

 

The CFM rating came of a Mustang site I also belong to,.
There was a guy that worked at B-Cool and tested a crap- load
of fans for the guys there.
Also,.. (I think) the '94 thru '95 mark 8 fans only flowed a max of 4500 cfm.
I use to have the whole chart saved that showed all the true flow ratings for
most of the aftermarket fans but since I changed over to a Mac from a PC,
I had a hard time downloading everything over and lost about a third of my
files... The chart was one of those. Sorry.

 

You will also have to do a little fab-work on the Mark-8 fan.
1st. Get the male portion of the plug with at least 6" of lead
wire from the boneyard. (It just makes it easier to wire it up instead of using spade connectors).
The mounting ears are offset and need to be cut off. (A Dremmel tool works best).
I've seen a LOT of ways to mount the fan so, it's really up to you which way you
think is best. I drilled 4 holes in the shroud & placed rubber - grommets in the four corners then,
bought the mounting-kit that has 4 giant-like Zip-ties that Summit or Jegs sells that
push thru the rad fins to secure the fan. Had no problems with it that way, and the mounting-kit is cheap. Also, a side note; If your gonna use the Temp-Probe to kick
your fan on & off, be sure the probe is mounted LOW thru the fins on the rad!
If for any reason your water level should drop below the probe level, that fan will never kick on! I know, I lost a head-gasket on my mustang cause I mounted it twards the top instead of down low. I had a slight water leak and, when the water got below the probe, it stopped working. I wasn't watching my gauges and lost a head-gasket that way.
