[QUOTE="SecondhandSnake, post: 16642565, member: 116684"] I don't have anything handy...that works at least. In fact I went back to reference some of the material I had gotten for it on one of the Mopar boards and it looks like it's been swept into the great internet dustbin. It also used to be used under the "Ramcharger fan" moniker for awhile, also now seemingly disappeared. They were one of the really popular options for things like foxbodies, G-bodies, and S10s, among things like the MKVIII, Taurus, and Contour fans. Those are also other options. I know these ones were used in Intrepids and other similar platforms like the LHS or 300M. There were the early fans that had two motors- one bigger/deeper than the other. They flowed the most, but didn't offer as much clearance. With your single they might still work. The later fans had the regular 2.7 variety and the 3.5/H.O. type. The 3.5 type is the better flowing one, but it's a mess trying to decipher it when ordering. The H.O. fans have more blades (6 vs 5, or 5 vs 4?) is one easy way to tell. The wiring is another discussion. They're 2 speed. The 2.7 ones achieve high speed by energizing both the low and high speed wires. I was told the H.O. ones are controlled the same as the Mustang ones by a Mopar tech and that's how I wired them. I lopped off a junkyard Intrepid pigtail and replaced mine with that. I tried both wiring strategies and it didn't seem to make much difference either way. At worst you add a diode between the high and low wires (or set up another relay.) Regarding comparison to the MKVIII fan, if I recall the one website that's no longer around, the old/big version of the dual fans flows better than the MKVIII fan, and the new thinner version flows slightly less, but it's lower profile. That's why I had to go with it. [/QUOTE]
