Mauro-
I have used the 15" Derale flex-fan available from Summit Racing with a
art number DER-17015! This fan is an easy fit and is extremely
fficient at both low and high speeds. The only issue could be
learance with the steering rack. I had to put one flatwasher under
ach of my motor mounts (the mounts were new at the time) to get
learance. Tiger Tom warns against cutting the diameter of the fan down
s most of the efficiency is at the outer diameter. Shimming the motor
ounts is really quite easy, but don't overdue it or the air cleaner
ill hit the hood. I also used one of the Ford Fairmont water pump
ulleys to increase the speed of the pump and fan. Somebody is selling
nice machined version of that pulley in the TE/AE newsletter. While
ou are working on all that stuff, you might want to do something with
our radiator if you haven't already. I had my original radiator
ecored with a modern core. Also make certain to block your horn
oles. With that combination of upgrades, I can idle or run at highway
peeds all day long in the humid 100 degree Mid-Atlantic summer heat
ith the engine running right at the thermostat setting. Check out the
ech tips on the TE/AE website
http://teae.org/category/tech-tips/temperature/> for more details.

I've been trying to figure out which fan to buy to improve the cooling of my
engine. I know there was a fan with part number C9DZ-8600-A that supposedly
fit, but I have not found a single one for sale. Are there other fans out
there that would fit the stock Tiger setup? I once heard something about a
Volvo fan, but don't know. What are the specifications I should be looking
for? Any advice would be highly appreciated! Mauro
