I bought two fans on ebay, one that I learned after the fact only 2200 cfm, which is NOT enough for a 4.7L at 90* + with the a/c on. I since bought a second one that flows 3000 cfm. I spent $50 at NAPA for the fuse holder and a thermo switch, and about $8 at Lowe's for hardware to mount it to the radiator shroud. Still, it saves hp and gas, and I really like NOT hearing the fan roar when I crank it up in the morning...

first for the tbs, only way i would get one is if it came with the cai, like AEM's does. They added it for some reason, otherwise not worth it. I do have a question or two bout the efan idea. How much and how difficult to install(also how long to install)? Will a taurus fan really cool one of these hemis? If flexalite, which fan to choose?

The Taurus fan will cool one of these trucks if you get the right one. You need the two speed fan that comes of an early 90's 3.8 Taurus. I have been running it for a while now and never had a cooling problem and I only run mine on low. I drove down to the Phils game the other night and sat in traffic for three hours in 90+ heat and the temp never even made it to the middle mark. The install is pretty easy as long as you can do a little wiring.

Does anyone have a wiring diagram for the install of a fan? How do you mount it in?
Do you get it out of one of the Robocop style early Tauruses or the bug-eyed looking ones? Do the V6's and I4's have the same fan?

Here is a link w/ wiring diagram, parts list, and model and years for the fan (should also be on 3.8 mercury sables) http://www.fordmuscle.com/archives/2...cfan/index.php. I copied that setup on my ram and it has worked very well. For mounting I mounted it inside the stock shroud w/ metal and plastic U-brackets (the metal one's were L's but I bent them into U's of the right size).

Any suggestions for junkyard fans to get me to that 3300cfm number??
