I don't want to have to buy one of those electric fans that work good but are expensive. What car has a stock electric fan that does a great job at cooling? I want it for my 66 Nova. It's only a 6 cyl 194 cid. Thanks
Measure what you think will fit, then head to the junk yard. Make sure your wiring and alternator can handle the load. Your alternator of probably only a 37amp.
Lincoln MKVII tops the list by a good bit, but it's HUGE to the point I couldn't use it in a C- body Mopar. The fan from a 3.8L Taurus has a rep as the second most powerful, and that's what I have on the 66 Polara with a 440 and AC in my sig. Works quote well, and I have a DCC Electronics temp/speed controller on it.
You may find that 2 small fans fit your application better.
You only need as much fan as you need.
Bigger (more powerful) is not always better.
There is less wear and tear if a fan runs for a longer cycle than one that is more powerful and cycles on an off repeatedly.
