Hi all, Have put the new motor in, and there is a fair distance from the fan to the radiator, as we know these motors run warm at the best of times. Looking for cooling options, will I need to run thermos and if so 1 or 2.
Cheers |

Im running a set of twin AU fans on my Maverick with the 5.0 EFI Windsor in it.
They fit the standard 4.2 radiator easily with a couple of tiny mods. Only time mine has got warm was when towing a 1000+kg camping trailer down the freeway at 130 on a 35 degree day. The motor but was stuffed. It was that low on comp you could turn it over by hand when it come out so I think thats more the reason it got hot then anything else.

Had sorta the same problem in my mercury. Why dont you keep the mechanical fan and just get a bigger spacer? You can get up to 3in factory ford ones fairly easy.
