Taurus fans are another high cfm option. I use one and just keep it on high for the LT1 in the blazer. a 90-95 Taurus fan puts out 2500cfm on low and 4500cfm on high

fan Yeah taurus and sable, lincon mk4 have the same fan. Beware that these fan pull about 100+ amps when it kicks in , you need a good working 120+amp alternator. As far as wiring goes you need some good thick wire too, somewere in the 10-12 g range. Good luck

Good 'info guys. I was thinking of going with electric fans only in my '69 Charger and this thread'll help. The 'amp draw is always a kick in the nuts when they turn on, but I can't imagine they'd be that bad once it gets going. I recently installed a 90 amp 'alt...

I did some reading and found this info.
93-96 Mark VIII fans are 18" and variable speed motor, make 4000-45000 CFM
97-98 Mark VIII fans are 18" have 2 wire motors faster fan speed and different pitch blade (for quiet operation)
90-95 Taurus 3.8L V6 fans come 17", and has 2 speed (low, high) max flow about 3500-4000 CFM
94-97 Thunderbird 4.6 V8 fans have the same 18" fan blade and shroud as 93-96 Mark VIII but a different motor, 2 speed (low, high). Max flow 4000-4500 CFM.
Thanks for the comment, I will definitely upgrade 100+amp alternator and thicker gauge wires, run big maxi fuse and 80amp relay.
Found this fan in the junk yard today 95 Thunderbird 4.6 fan here's a pic.

I read the DCC controller are the best out there, but i went with something more affordable Derale dual fan controller it comes with 30/40amp relay but i bought a 80amp relay for it. Set it to 190F and turns off at 180F. Its working good so far.
You can run it with out a controller and use coolant temperature switch, but I like being able to adjust the temperature that's why i'm running a controller. The 130amp alternator you have will be perfect for that fan. I'm planning to use a newer GM CS130D or if i can get a LS1 alternator go that route.
