Just picked up a fan today..

went out to a couple yards today and found a taurus fan for my '73. this was inspired by MavDog71 and Frank ....lol. costed me a whole $10 and it was already off

 

Sweet deal...

Frank...

 

I found my first one already taken off and put to the side of the car, against the fender. Cost me $20, though.

Kinda like they are taking them off to take out some other part that is revered by Taurus restorers...

 

if i can find some extra ones, im gonna grab them up and offer them on here.

 

Pull-A-Part sells them for $11.48 + tax. There are literally dozens of Tauruses (Tauri? ) in there. Don't know how far you are from Louisville, but it looks like the Pull-A-Part there has tons of them also.

 

if i travel to louisville anytime soon i may stop and look around, but around here i can prolly get everyone i find for $10 flat. oh, and i did discover that the 3.8 fans are different from the 3.0 fans... dunno why Ford would have done that but there's a big difference between them

 

here's some snap shots of the shroud after i just got done modifying it and after a good cleaning in the bathtub

 

Awesome Deal, especially since you didnt have to do any work to get it off the car..

 

I was just at the pull-a-part last Friday......didn't make it to the FORD section

 

I need to go to the junkyards out here and look for one. Problem is, all the yards out here have their streets paved in gold. $$$$$

 

Also most of the JY's here have the motors already out. How can you tell a 3.6 from a 3.0 if the motor is not there?

 

The 3.8 is a 2-speed fan and has 3 wires, the 3.0 is signal speed and has 2 wires.

 

Are you guys updating your alternator? I thought I read in the ford muscle write it was nessarsery.(i spelled that wrong)

 

Can I ask why people are looking for these? Or does not knowing just make it easier for those in the know to get them...

Chris

do a search for...taurus fan...that should put you in the loop...
