are there any difference between the electric radiator fans like between v6s to v8s and year wise on the 3rd gens ?im looking at getting a e fan for my 4.3 s10.wanna grab one out of the junk yard if possible.

 

I have no idea on size, but I read alot where folks yank a mid-90's Ford Taurus fan - they say it moves alot of air really well. As with alot of things in life - as long as it fits well, bigger is always better!

 

camaro fans are easier to get a hold of here.alot of people use the tauras fans here i guess.some of the third gens did have dual fans didnt they?if they did which ones did they come on ?all the v8s?

i dont like fords either , all they way

 

dual fans came on the TPI V8 cars

 

oh i see only duals on the higher hp models.i thank the fan between the v6 and v8 is the same then besides the tpi models right?no cfm differences or anythang?

 

the v-6 and v-8 single fans are the same-also the v-6
and non-A/C v-8 4th gen(at least thru '97,haven't
looked at '98 -02),use the same fan and motor with a
different shroud

 

ok thanks yall. guess ima pick me one up soon then

 

forgot to mention basicly the same fan-same motor and
blades,different shrouds-is used in lots of 1985-mid '90s
midsize FWD GM cars including cadillac,so should be
able to find one easy.when you find one make sure it
turns easy and will coast a couple revolutions when
spun by hand-if it does not the motor may be burnt out
and the armature windings shorted(sometimes the fans
get packed up with snow and burn out)
Also make sure you get the polarity correct as some of
these motors have a diode across the teminals that can
short if connected backwards

 

im getting the fan from a place that gives you a 30 day warranty.i will double check my wiring.i got the haynes book for the 3rd gen camaros with the wiring diagrams

 

does anybody the diamater of the fan blades assembley of the stock camaro ones and the tauras one?

 

measured a couple in my parts stash
-3.8 taurus: 16 3/8"including ring,15 1/4"bladed area
-GM 16"dia.,15 1/4"bladed area
Diameter is nearly the same between the two,but the
ford part has 9 blades instead of 5,slightly more
aggresive blade pitch and a bigger motor.
3.8 taurus fan should cool a 4.3 well if it is for general
street use.
BTW the taurus fan is made by one of the supplers to
the"big three"and not by ford itself if you are concerned
about having"blue oval"parts underhood
the 1994 example i have says"made in usa" on the
blade and shroud,while the motor was marked"canada"
so good quality stuff

 

are the newer 96 tauras fans as good?i found a guy that is parting out a 96 and says he thanks his has dual fans.he said he will sale it all including the shroud for 25.im just broke.vehicles been tearing up along with everythang else going on this month(hope he doesnt sale it)
