Default E-Fan

Check these out. Which one is the right one? Does anyone know where to get one cheaper, besides a junk yard? Seems like a decent price.

Edited to add: Does anyone have any info on just changing the factory clutch fan? Would it be worth putting a lighter wide blade clutch fan on for better cooling?

Thanks weed, do you know if any of these will work though? Does anyone know the specs on the clutch fan? Would it even make a difference putting a light weight flex a lite on?

it would make a little bit of difference but those flex fans are loud as all hell. my e-fan is OEM from a 3.8l ford motor. fits perfect. youll be much better off with the e-fan than a flex clutch fan.

Ive got a Taurus fan on mine and have no cooling issues. The clutch fan was taken off long ago.

The aftermarket Fans such as Dorman that are replacement for OEM do not have near the cfm ouput. Your better off getting a used OEM one than a new aftermarket.

Replacing a clutch fasn for another clutch fan regardless of shape or size will not gain anything other than noise or possible overheat issue's.

Ok, thanks ya'll, that's what I was looking for. How about those e-fans I linked? Which ones would work?

Dirtydog-how much are you selling yours for? Why are you selling it?
