What type of cooling fan needed for radiator

I need a cooling fan since mine is broken and I am replacing the engine as well, just need to know who sells a good cooling fan (maybe a dual). Would pepboys, advance, autozone carry any good fans? or would I have to special order one?

Any assistance would help, so when I get my engine I will have the proper cooling.

BTW the radiator is brand new and so is the thermo but I am going to buy a new thermo (180 degree) just to be on the safe side.

if you're going to use an electric one i wouldn't buy one from any of the local parts stores, at the very least try scowering the boneyards and see if you can get a complete setup, and if need be, order a replacement fan motor from NAPA they have 2 listed on their website

pt# BK 4551588 for the standard one

pt# BK 6551588 for the "performance" one

or order one from summit or jegs

i bought one from autozone once and it is crap , dont remember the brand ...started with a C.....

good luck!
