Looking for an OE type fan I can pull from a yard.

I was all set to go get a Taurus fan, but when I measured the distance from the radiator to the W/P pulley I only have about 3 ¾”!! I don’t know how everyone is getting these 5” fans in there. I even have the “short” water pump.


What are you 66-67 guys using for electric fans?

My core measures 20 x 18 x 3

Total radiator is 24 ½ x 18 x 3


Thanks,
Jim

You could give Team Member Don a call for some advice and possible set up....I'm sure he has the cure.......

I will check him out.

I'm trying to stay with something I can pull from a yard. Hoping someone has a good fan for a tight fit.

Gotcha Jim.....I'm sorry I am not familiar with the whole electric fan thing so I cant offer any further suggestions.....But hopefully another member here can point you in the right direction......Good Luck

I use a Perma-cool 16" and a homemade shroud. The fan is 3 3/4" deep and flows 2950cfm. @ 10.5 amps.
FWIW,I mounted the fan off center of the W/P. I could really care less how it looks. All I know is, it's functional.

On my 66 I took out the grill and installed my fan on the outide I have a pusher A freind gave me. The fan came off a car he junked, I think it was a ford windstar van? its a single fan. The fan was to big to fit between the long water pump and becool radiator. So I mounted it on the outside and wired it up as a pusher on a temp switch. Might wanna see how much room you have between the hood latch and radiator.

A friend of mine and I are both using the twin Spal 12" electrics. We both have 66s with short water pumps. It is real close on the power steering belt but it works.

Nope! a Ford Windstar fan is a dual fan assembly.........I know I have one.... from 94-2003

dual fan assembly

:yup:

That way, the fan motors are off to the sides instead of right in line with the WP.

As has been said. Consider a dual fan setup. This will get the fans off to the sides. This is what I did when I switched to a Meziere electric water pump. I was running the single Mark-8 fan and it was a no-go. So I switched to the dual SPAL setup. Works dandy.

There are a few different fans that the Taurus' used. There is a long motor and a short motor, and some motors had different fastening techniques to the blade. I pulled mine off of a 92 Taurus. I have mine because it is a two speed fan and thin. I tried a few but the Taurus fan was the thinnest for the size.

I use these http://i33.tinypic.com/28lzzh3.jpg the spals, but you need a 22 inch rad core for them they work very well . you can get the dimentions here http://www.srbymichael.com/manufactu...ldualdimen.jpg good luck

I have a long pump in my 67 and I use dual fans but once I put them in I had to put in a bigger alt and then I smoked it and had to put in another with bigger wires
all said and done I think that I should of put a short water pump in and just moved my alt they have kits that can put the alt just about anywhere
on the highway my car runs warm but it cools down when driving in town

The Spals seem like they'd fit and are pretty popular but, man, they are a bit pricey.

Anyone know a comparable twin fan OE set up that flows enough air for me?

Rod & Wes, do you have pics of your fan set ups, what are the dimensions of your radiators?
