I grabbed mine from a 1994 Taurus wagon with the 3.8L motor. I think they came from 1990 to 1995. I have the part number as Ford 8C607.

They came on any ford sedan with the 3.8L, very common. If you take a picture of what the fan looks like you will be able to find it pretty easy, no other fan really looks like it.

I got a new one off ebay for a pretty good price

f4dz8c607ca covers 90-95 Taurus with a 3.8

i just grabbed one
part # f2de-8c607-ab
it seems to be too big.

The Taurus fan IS big. Note in the writeup that the shroud hangs well below the bottom of the radiator.

i see that on the XJ's you mount the fan sideways.
thanks yall

Take a look at this link. It show the complete process in a RHD XJ.

It isn't a simple swap. The Taurus fan is very thick and requires removing the mechanical fan and it's shaft to provide enough room. The fan housing needs a lot of trimming for a tight fit. The shroud will hang down under the radiator, a perfect place to mount a transmission or power steering cooler.
The fan draws a lot of power and needs bigger than normal relays, something rated 70-amps or more..
It would be a good time to beef up the electrical with bigger cables, large alternator and the most powerful battery that will fit.
When properly done, these fan work great but, in return, there are many more parts that can fail. With an electric fan, an alternator failure can stop you dead, where a mechanical fan will keep working and you can drive out on battery power.
