If I were to scour the salvage yards for either a Ford Contour or Lincoln Mark 8 electric radiator fan, what would be the best model years to look for???

What year of Taurus did you get that from? One of our local salvage yards has a Taurus fan and shroud for $114. This is from a 3.8L Taurus.Mark VIII fan's will pull the most CFM, but to be honest....a regular Taurus fan will do just fine. I've got the Taurus fan cooling my 331 and it does just fine. The Contour/Mystique/Cougar dual fans are nice, but they're noisy and can be a hard on relays when they start to get some wear on them.

$114??? Holy moly, it come with a tube of vaseline too? That is way too much for a used fan, like Gearbanger stated. That with the price of your controller, you could buy a good one from AM or LMR.What year of Taurus did you get that from? One of our local salvage yards has a Taurus fan and shroud for $114.

My current fan is a Flex-A-Lite Extreme puller w/a Felx- A -Lite 33054 controller. I am really in the market for a dual fan set up as I want a fan and shroud that covers my entire BE COOL radiator not just a portion of it.
Thanks for the link! Paid $45.95 for it and should have it next week.Got one of these on my F150. It's a dual set up from a Contour/Cougar....works great....pulls plenty of air.

If it cools my 5.4L 6,000lb P/U, it'll cool down your Mustang without breaking a sweat.
Nice, but $175
I paid less than that for the Flexalite Fan controller on my truck and the DC Fan controller on car put together and still had money left over for a tank of gas.....and both of them are fully adjustable and work flawlessly as well.

This is the Cougar/Mystique fans you gave me the Ebay link to about a week or two ago. I did purchase those and want to hook them up to my Flex-a-Lite 31165 controller. With a 45 amp max on this controller I should be good to go.Assuming you're talking about the Contour fans? When the fans are new or in relatively good condition, they'll spike at a little over 30A during initial start up and will run normally around 20A.
I ran mine with a 30A relay for the first couple of years until recently when one of the fans started ceasing up due to age and weather damage. It caused additional draw on the system and would randomly blow the 30A relays. I'm now running 40A relays in their place temporarily until I pick up a new assembly and they run just fine.
