Taurus Fan

[johnpaulgolf]

This is a post I put on classic today!!!cratchhe:



I had my Ron Davis alum. Rad from WH's get ate up by my mech fan. It is my beleif that their fan shourd(ron davis) is a bad design because there is a 1/2" lip down the pass. side that is about one inch closer to the mech. fan than the rad. So in a recent hill climb at River Rock Ga. with alot of body flex and motor torque the mech. fan got into the afore mentioned lip and turn sideways and had lunch. About a $500 lunch!!!

So I found the alum. rad on this site from partstrain.com the "silla" rad got here in about two days and cost like $216.13 to my door.

But I was determined not to run a mech fan ever again!!!

So I read this thread and went to a pull your own junk yard. $21.35 got me a 95' Taurus fan from a 3.8L.

Anyway its too wide and won't clear my water pump pully.

I think my water pump has a longer "neck" than some I've seen and I had to do alot of spacing on my other pulleys to line up all pulleys with the crank pulley(which I think is sticking out alot also) anyway...blah blah blah.

So I took two ten inch fans and my old fan shroud and mounted them.

My temps were not very good at slow speeds idle/crawl 190-210 but sitting still at idle 160-180 and cruising 30-45mph it stayed between 160-190.

Well any feedback and or comments?

Thanks, John
