Ford windstar electric fan swap.

The search was on for a better alternative to a mechanical fan. I ve heard something about using fans out of a ford windstar not sure the reason why it such a popular swap. New setups are pretty spendy that much i do know. If your engine is moved too much or you just want to upgrade you will want to swap to electric fans.

Electric fans can be shut off. Clutch fan cant be shut off they seize up the engine when submerged. I have read that a 90ish 3 8 ford taurus stock fan would work great. Like a knucklehead i ordered two of the three wire plugs for it.

From the common budget option of the ford windstar fans which uses a set of fans off a ford windstar modified to work in the c10 to fabricated aluminum radiators with custom fan shrouds and fans. Going to electric fans is stupid if done for any other reason than water crossing. There are a great variety of option here. Also looking for advice or reference material on how to hook up a thermal switch so it kicks on when it needs to.

The horsepower gain is minimal not even worth the cost of doing a conversion. Electric fan conversion tips from the pros. Looks nice and the measurements work perfectly on my radiator. Put new fans in the chevelle out of a 2001 ford windstar.

Also a 95 98 ford windstar is almost a direct bolt in with minor trimming needed to the shroud. 07 01 06 06 26 am post 961683 in response to truckin well i ve dug up some more info on this. I got my windstar fan in the mail yesterday running it on my 74 lwb bbc radiator and the plugs came today. Been thinking about this for a while haven t gathered enough info to do it yet.
