i used a fan from a lincoln mark VIII, it was about 3/4 of an inch taller but i made it work with my "custom" sheet metal fabricated radiator support

Hey guys just got a set of fans from my buddys parts car. From an '02 Jetta, they look to be the perfect width not sure on height. theres one big fan and one smaller. probablly 13" and 8". just letting you guys know theres more otions out there.

I have a Mark VIII fan, also, that I want install in my '87 Chevy pickup. My fan is a 2 speed fan. Is yours is a 2 speed fan, did you wire it up to work both speeds and if so how??????? :-? other wise how did you hook it up?

i havent hooked mines up yet..but i do have the two speed fan just like you and im goin to hook mines up with the highest speed for now and see how my car runs..the problem im having is how can i get it to stay in place..is it a part i can buy at autozone ?

I have not installed it yet. The PO just used angle brackets to install it. As for the electric part, I have a derale controller and bosch relay. He had it hooked up to one speed, I was just hoping to hook it up to both, (just to make my life complicated )

I'm running the lincoln mark VIII fan as well, except it came from a ford thunderbird. The ford thunderbird, lincoln mark viii, and mercury cougars came with this fan. Love it so far with no complaints.

Mark VIII here as well. No fan matches it for cooling - factory or aftermarket. Here's some pics of my install and wiring diagrams:

...if you notch the bottom of the shroud, it will sit low enough to look right with a factory Cutlass top rad support. Note that just because the fan has three pins, it doesn't guarantee it's a 2-speed fan - check the album for a comparison shot (I have one of each).

I tested it and it is a 2 speed (and it matches your pics)
Thanks for the wiring diagram, but I have to admit I can't read it :-( It is too small and is fuzzy if I enlarge it. From what I can tell, it is exactly what I want to do. Can I do it with the bosch 75 amp relay and derale 16749 controller? Or do I need to start over.
