Drive it and don't worry about slightly higher then average temps on an old engine.

does anyone know what electric fans out of the junkyard could I use. I read the ford tarus 3.8's work, but they draw 90 amps at startup. Seems kinda high to me. So any other suggestions?

Pretty sure the one I got from j145 was out of a Buick and its dual fan pulls perfectly

Got my fans out of a wrecked z28 camaro off craigslist for 30 bucks and wired them to the small feild post on the back of the alternator closest to the drivers side so they come on as soon as the engine starts running.
