I wish I'd known about these when I had room for a rear puller fan. I searched a heap and couldn't find anything over 16".
No room back there now!

Last two years of the Mark VIII, which I don't recall, either 94/95 or 97/98, used the best version (white plug on the motor) but same fan used I think on some years of Tbird in same age range.

I use a controller from a one person company, DCC, great product, not easy to deal with. It a high current PWM design with a soft start and other features, and right now I think its the best available product, but its just not all that available. Doing it again I think I would just use a BIG relay driven by a thermal switch in the radiator.

I think the twin fan out of a Contour has worked just as well for many people. As long as your radiator is good, you really don't need a huge amount of air flow, or more than provided by the Contour fans, and if your radiator is blocked, a big fan won't fix the problem.

Plenty of aftermarket switching options at summit, jegs, etc as well.

I've been searching for the thread that referenced part number and install of a two (or three?) stage rad fan switch, haven't been able to dig it up. Anyone recall?
