The taurus fan is the best application and cheap. It pulls good and does a stellar job. The shroud just ups its ability. I make my own shrouds from old campaign signs.

Taurus fans huh, when we were running tauruses we always took them out and put GM front wheel drive fans in cuz they were lower profile and didn't burn up as fast. Also my 04 vic came with a really nice, big, lowpro fan. If you find one thats a push instead of a pull you can always hook the wires up backwards.

Tarus fan. best all around affordable OEM fan. youve seen all my sh!t nate. mounts fairly easily, cools well, nice shroud, easy to wire, durability is good as long as you trim the lip of the fan, it tends to rub the shroud when it gets twisted, other than that its pretty tough. Spal makes the best 12-16 volt aftermarket fan for all out cooling. little pricey and not as easy to mount. any specific year or particular engine size on the Taurus?

Mid 90's Taurus with 3.8 ltr motor. The lincoln mark 8 is even a better fan. Ford contour is thinner, has a shroud and two fans.

2 Rachet straps and cushion from rear seat. Simple and never lost a radiator that way.

I usually don't do anything with the support, so I can use it to bolt the radiators to it. Or wire them. I'm going to try a couple rachet straps next year, to see how that works.

I use Gorilla Glue to glue chunks of those water tubes, that are used for floating, to places the radiator would rub. And, of course, the stuff works great for inside the car also.
