Mark VIII Fan?!?!

[spideys85gt]

ok i bought a mark8 fan for my car for pretty cheap. but the fan shroud is freaking huge, has anyone put this setup in their car before, and if so how did you customize the fan shroud to make it fit right?

link worked for me. You'll have to trim 1/2" or more from the shroud (make it thinner) to get it in front of the pump pulley. I moved my radiator forward about 1/2" too by rearranging the radiator rubber bottom mounts.

dude a lot of stuff can be found online. in fact i ran into an 18 year old kid that had 5 of these things, so i got mine for 75 shipped works great

I got mine (T-bird) off ebay for $40 + shipping.

Does the T-Bird fan pull 4000cfm's?

Don't know - looks exactly the same and besides, doesn't need to as it keeps my car nice and cool.
