Default Dual radiator fans

Stopped traffic, temp rising, I pull over to check it out and find the fan not working. Get home, pull car in shop and find fan is trash.....

So......since I have to replace the fan, I was wondering if anyone knows of a place where I can get dual fans w/shrouds? If not, I guess I can fab my own, all I would need would be a wiring connector/splitter.

Hi Artiststang, how ya doin?

Sorry to hear about your problem - seems to me it wouldn't be too tough to modify a rig from a newer Mustang and just run the wiring.

Summit sells several kits that could work, of course.

Heya triple,

Being outta the loop for several years, I take it the newer Mustangs (begining what year) come stock with dual fans?

I am going to search aftermarket....I guess I should have said, "Has anyone had any experience with aftermarket dual fan conversions" "Which is best" "Is it worth the effort" ...etc.....

Speaking of duals, I get my dual exhaust installed today!

A whopping two cyls per tip! woohoo!

I'm take measurements of the space between your radiator brackets, height, etc, and scope out the nearest junkyard.

I think the 99 and newer cars would feature what you need.

As for it being worth the effort, the last car I did this on was an oldsmobile. Worked great, and freed up the space we needed to plunk a supercharger in there. (actually, it freed up enough space to put another engine in there - must have been 18" of air left).

We just used a junkyard unit and trimmed it down to fit the space, drilled some holes, and bolted it on. (Ran a switch to the cockpit - if he forgot to turn it on, the car would get hot in a hurry - I wanted to link it up to the temp gauge harness, but we did it his way, it was his car). Looked amazingly OE, too (the fan part - the homemade brackets for the supercharger looked odd, but not my fault, the owner did them, and he's an even worse welder than me).

PS: Meant to ask, does your car HAVE an electric fan right now? Not sure when they stopped mounting them on the water pump.

Triple, how did you find that? I have no luck when it comes to searching for anything. The dual fans I found on Summit cost from 1200-1400 bucks! I can handle the 239. But, I just found out today that a turbo t-bird dual fan set up would just bolt right on. I have a t-bird fanatic buddy and will email him later about that. Other wise. 239 aint bad for dual fans, new ones at that, plus new shroud.........I can see that sitting under the hood.

Default Turbo Coupe parts

Found this guy parting out an 86 model:

1986 Ford Thunderbird T-Bird Turbo Coupe Parts

Also this guy, working 2.3 turbo with extras for $200, might have more parts I bet:
