[OKGMC4]

I realize that some of you are aware of this part, but maybe I can show someone something new. I wanted an electric fan for my 56 with a 5.3l -- I looked at Summit and Jegs and all the street rod places and I ALMOST ordered a Cooling Components fan with shroud that costs $200. I'm sure it's a great fan but I am SOOOO cheap so I researched cheap junkyard fans and kept coming up with this...Lincoln Mark VIII (and some later model TBird/ Cougars) have about the baddest efan the factory ever made. Taurus fans are good, too, but are usually the wrong size for us tri five guys. I did some measuring and it's as though Ford said "You know, we ought to make an electric fan for chevy pickups!" They are two speed and have a massive motor and 18" blade. I got mine at LKQ for $20. It is a commonly sought after fan and I got the last one in the yard, after checking every Mark/tbird/cougar! I trimmed the factory brackets off, cut 3/4" off the rear of the shroud, and used 1/16" aluminum strips to tie it to my radiator. There's about 3/4" clearance on the motor, and my engine rides higher than most so there could've been more room. I'll let the pics speak for themselves and let you guys decide...
