I might keep the manual fan anyways... that on3 turbo kit is looking real nice and the manual fan will work better for that

LOL. I have had a lot of bad ones then. I have never owned one that could cool a foxbody in traffic as well as the OEM manual fan. I pissed away at least $600 in electric fans when I had my cobra in two different engine combos.

Italian LX went back to a manual fan in the coupe with the 418 for the same reasons I believe.

No problems with mine either, but then again, I also have a 3 row radiator too.

Same here! Big Ron Davis aluminum radiator and a 2 1/2" cowl helps the cooling big time!!! Now on the other hand, years ago I bought the "Black Magic" fan and it sucked. Probably would have been better with the RD radiator and hood, but I'll never know... those fans were WAY over-priced!

They're bad about cracking around the hub at the base of the blades.

A good radiator and elec. fan is good.. Throw a 2-3in intercooler infront of the radiator and see what happens though... It will over heat in traffic fast...
