    Seems like those Taurus fans mostly fits vehicles they cam out of and soo few others.

    Too thick for my mustang/351w, comet/302 and f100/429.

    Wish i had checked to see if it,ll worked in f100 when i had 302 in it.

    Something I forgot to mention was that I gently massaged the rad support forward about an inch.

    I had put this on the edges, but now that I think about it, I am going to go back and pull it off. I dont want it melting all over the place. It is just reg windows foam weather stripping.

    The thickness on the other is "a lot less after a saws-all"

    if you do go to a controller I would suggest the Volvo relay. that way you can put the temp sensor heat range you like.
