I need new fans, mine just stopped working. What are the best ones to fit on this radiator. It is up and vertical. I have spals on there now but want something a little more powerful. Also, what cap should I use for the radiator??

If you have room, get a puller fan from a 3.8l Taurus

I'm running flex-a-lite fans in mine. wired to the stock harness. the other day I went up a local mt. took about 45 min. due to lots of traffic. it was atleast 100 out and given the chance the was boosting when i could. never got over 210 (stock thermostat). went out "street tuning" sat night, (same day as the mt. run) car never got over 200. we were tuning for about 90 minutes. my turbo is about 2-3 inches off my griffen, my fans are pushers.

Any pictures of your Spal fans? I have Spal fans setup as pullers, and they seem to cool descently. Those seem to be the most powerfull low profile fans I can fit in. How much space do you have available in yours?
Here is a picture of mine.

I dont know about the Spal fans, but the flex-a-lites pull/push 2500 cfm. when the fans are on and the motor is not running it sounds like a damn turbo. you can mount the flex-a-lite as a pucher or puller.

They have different part#'s for puller vs pusher. Make sure you order the right one. Not sure if they can be easily reversed.

SPAL are supposed to be some of the best fans. I have them on my 406 in my 89 T/A and they do a fantastic job.
