Any idea of the amp draw on those fans?  Honestly, Ive never even see one of those cars in the yard.

From the looks of the cfm ratings when you compare battery to alternator specs, it looks like the Taurus set up is most efficient. How do the GM/Dodge shrouds line up to a Fox type radiator?

Well, it's (the Taurus fan) a proven success with the Fox body cars. Yes, there are more powerful fans, but, the Taurus fans are very popular with the Fox body crowd for a reason....they do work well. My car is doing great, and I can't complain today at 107 degrees outside. There's always other options, and it's up to the person doing the swap to decide what route they need to go.

The single fan 3.8 is the one of choice, but, the single fan 3.0 fan is also big and strong enough to cool the car....I know because I used them both. The 3.0 fan shroud fit perfectly on our radiators, and still does a great job, and, the 3.0 and 3.8 fans are VERY plentiful at almost any boneyard for cheap. Also new if you choose to go that route. I've seen a few crazy deals on new ones pop up from time to time on Ebay.  As shown by the numbers from Tom above, it may not flow like the others he posted, but at the temps we're reaching here, and the Sport running around town with no grille, stop and go, and the gauge just barely hits the halfway mark.....that's good enough for me. If you need a lot more, grab the other ones. As I stated, there's a reason so many use them and not the others....they work....and they work very well. I can't believe every Fox body owner is wrong.
