Good junkyard electric fan?

[Mcstiff]

I am looking to get rid of my mechanical fan and wanted to know what to look for? I will be installing it in a '86 2.5L.

i would keep the mechanical fan and just add another electric fan that pushes air through the radiator. ive gotten them from older volvo's, bimmers, and benz's. the bmw fans are a little big to fit behind the grill. the benz fans are the best. for mine i bought a volvo fan that ended up not working so i went back and got a bmw fan. long story short the bmw blades are pretty long and required being shortened using an angle grinder. i put the bmw fan in the volvo surround.

Taurus/Sable 3 wire fan from a 3.8 engine.

It's a bit deep at close to 5" but it'll move alot of air for ya if you have the room in there.

Lotsa info on this fan at PBB.
