That's what I've got,I also read somewhere that a Dodge Intrepid(dual electric) fan is pretty much a direct fit,although that's for a factory size Fox radiator.

After talking to Preston and taking a good hard looking I beleive I might be asking a little much. Agree with Brian about the air must go through it not around so I plan on putting some tin on the side to go all the way across the front to help direct the air to the radiator. Next when its running warm(200+)I'm usually trying to cruise at 65mph while turning 3200 rpms.

If you're having cooling issues at 65 mph, it's not your fan.

Before you go through the trouble of ducting your radiator, put a good waterpump on it. I highly recommend the Stewart Stage 1. I'll post some comparison shots later that show how much better it is than a generic replacement pump.

If a clean radiator, a good fan, and a good pump don't cool the car...

if price is not an issue then get one of these. sounds to me like it may be the radiator is too small for that hp. but make sure your water pump is good too.

or better priced

I know at 65 the fan does not really aid in the cooling. Its got to be going around the radiator. Thats was good ideal the box going into the radiator. I've never seen one done on a fox. I beleive I'm going to getto it first with some cardboard on the sides of the radiator.
