Ya, that was a misprint... he dyno'd a stock/clutch fan, flex fan, and electric.

The SN95 electric fan is probably the best swap... unless you find a 93 Mark VIII fan... they had a wicked fan design, but it was changed because of the noise. Both of these fans pull more air than aftermarket stuff like the 'black tragic'.

I got a MarkVIII fan from the wreckers for $50. I got a www.psm1.com variflow controller for $100 US, to controll it. You could just use a switch/relay, or a thermostat switch (Hayden? available at Jegs etc).

I ordered my 130amp alt. through the wreckers, and got a brand new, genuine Ford unit for $180 Canadian (that's only $120 US).

Do a search for the alt swap... (smithmonte.homepage.com? he's also got fan swap info). Don't just splice the stock 10 gauge wires. Make sure you wire a 4 guage from the alt, to the battery/silonoid.
