4.6StangRage Posted February 23, 2014 Share Posted February 23, 2014 As the title says, yeah I could use come ideas on the orientation of the cooling fan. This probably is a idea prone to failure so I was thinking of getting opinions from people on here. Option 1. Install fan in front and set polarization to suck the air through the fan. Good: there should be plenty of room to do it and I wont have to do any extensive modifications to make it work. Bad. Fan may not work properly in alternate polarization. Airflow might not be as good being done this way. Option 2. Fan from same position as above, but set to the stock polarization to blow. Good: Refer to above. Also, no extensive mods need to be done to change direction. Bad: Under-hood temps may be too high. This might not be too practical. Option 3. Attempt to modify fan to make it work and mount in stock location. Good: Well, yeah stock location is always better. I wont have to worry about whether it will cool properly. Bad: The modification could be a complete waste of time and I could risk damaging the fan and rendering it completely useless. that do you guys think?

BluDestiny Posted February 23, 2014 Share Posted February 23, 2014 How do you not have space in between the rad and engine to not let it fit there? Pic of the engine bay may help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seattlejester Posted February 23, 2014 Share Posted February 23, 2014 Option one won't work at speed. You will blow a fuse when the fan stalls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4.6StangRage Posted February 23, 2014 Author Share Posted February 23, 2014 Yeah its a taurus fan. I trimmed the shroud as much as i could before it bottoms out on the radiator. It will go in between the water pump and radiator but it touches the water pump. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
