Electric fan
 
The original fan on the gt is cracked.. Would this setup be a good replacement?

Not a lot of cfm there... Better off getting a Taurus or Fiero fan and getting a wiring kit from O'Reilly's.

ray if the alternator is still factory you might want to do a 3g before putting the elec fan on.

:yup: I'm running an SHO fan on mine. The BEST one to get, if you can find it, is from a Mercury Villager/Nissan Quest minivan. You cut the four little tabs off it, and flip it upside down, and it fits like the factory shroud.

lol you had one on that cobra. i thing they start putting them on mustang in 94. there a 130 amp. you will have to upgrade the power wire on it to handle the power. do a search on 3g swap on a foxbody and you will fiine all yo uneed. im going to look at pull apart and get one there. for about 40 bucks. where a new one runs about 200 bucks. also you will have to trim up the bracket alittle to let it fit. im going to be doing this next to my car. plus i got to get those gears installed.

:yup: I'm running one too. You also have to get a different bolt for the bottom mount, and a nut and bolt for the top (or tap it for a bolt)..

Stick with a stock manual fan. Electric fans will give you nothing but trouble.

God only knows how much money I have spent on electric fans and they are not worth it

i have changed out manual fans for electric fans and never had trouble what so ever. my last 240sx i had that i turboed ran some nice fal fans and loved them. you could blow dry your hair with them. but theres always a bad one somewhere.
