Any recomendations of an electric fan to use. I've heard lots of good things about them but really nothing bad. There has to be a negative side I'm not aware of.

I use a dual fan setup out of a 95 ford windstar. It fits the radiator perfectly and the install is pretty easy.

Downside is they are less reliable than a conventional fan, as in they can fail without you knowing it, however with a dual setup with each fan on it's own relay it's not all that likely for them to both go at the same time.

Chev-hell sells used ones that he gets a deal on. If you are interested contact him. We both have the same fan setup and I think it's pretty hard to beat.

Another option is the lincoln markVII or something, it's a single fan setup that also works well. Others on this site use that fan and i'm sure will chime in with some info for you.
