FYI FORD MustangSteve's Ford Mustang Forum / Is this still the best option for a 24” fan?

I only have 'partial-information'..(what else is new ?!) In the pick & pull yard the hot set-up (no pun)was a Ford Taurus dual fan set-up.
Maybe a Ford Contour.
Butt.....it was a factory dual fan set-up.
One fan run and the second came on with the AC or extra warm weather (think Florida/Texas)
These guys can fill in the details of wiring.

Been researching my brushless electric fan options. I like the idea of a single fan unit which should clear everything in my setup. I watched a video that stated I should have 2800-3000cfm for my given engine size and power. This fan offers that at a static pressure of 100. A static pressure of 300 cuts the cfm in half. What I don’t know is what the static pressure will be across my radiator. It’s the 24” from cold case. If this is a good option then I need to figure out what I need electrically to hook it up. Auto Cool Guy looks to be a great choice from what some of you have said.

Looking at the 405mm size but could I go to the next size up with the 24” radiator? Their largest diameter is roughly 20”.

For fan control, I’m using “Delta Current Control” (DCC) model FX45 for my electric fan control and am happy with it. I have Vintage A/C and have left the FK45 unit to control the fan and did not use the installed Vintage control that turns the fan on when the A/C is turned on.

Saw a post on Facebook and it has me thinking of going the contour fan route. It looks like it fits perfect on the 24” radiator and no shroud would be needed. Said he used Dakota digital controller and one fan comes on at 188 and the second fan comes on at a higher temp.

thirty one your way cube

The Contour fans are a popular option if you don't have anything yet.

I use a Ford Taurus fan on a 24 inch radiator with a 195 degree thermostat. I use a DC Control FK-75 fan controller. This solved all my cooling issues and that fan is readily available.
