JOHNA01374 Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 A single Mark VIII fan will get the job done and they're about $100 with the necessary relays. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wallaby Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 I went throught this last year, and found that the Ford Taurus with the 3.8 V6 uses the same fan as the MKVIII. This is a big help as the "U-pull-it" yards are full of Tauruses and darn few Lincolns...To make it even better, the fan is much easier to remove from a taurus! You darn near have to remove the whole front-end of a Lincoln to get the fan out, where the Taurus can be lifted straight out after undoing just 2 10mm bolts and sniping the wires. I also browsed around and found some great relay blocks with fuses and diodes from a Chrysler nearby...no bolts holding this in, it just snaps in place, but you have to cut a bundle of wires. I got 2 fans, two relay blocks, 6 relays and it cost me less than $40 for everything. Here is a good write-up showing what is needed and how to wire it up: LINKY Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
