I just bought one for my FB race car at Autozone, they have a lot of different sized ones, just use the little installation "hook" things to attach it to the radiator, and you're all good. Then flip it on with the switch whenever you need to.

Remember that the fan and shroud are all one unit - just ask about the fan. Otherwise it sounds like you're buying two items. I agree, though, $50?

bcty: Uh, please read the thread.

I don't think that will be a problem as long as you use a relay.

Huh? Wha? Oh yeah, pics... Lemme get a camera, and I'll try to snap some tomorrow. I spent all day today working on my car (lots of mods, all at once), so my g/f may not like me even spending the 5 mins to get some good ones Anyway, if not by tomorrow, then Monday. 'Kay?

Oh, and for the record, eight zip ties, doubled up, through the stock shroud screw holes works like a CHAMP.

ALL years/models of fiero fans are the same, at least the look the same.
BUT
AT fieros have a beefier rad, and the fan is rated 5A higher than the MT cars, makes you wonder if it's a better fan. about the bottom bolts, I couldn't get them off for ****, till I went underneath. WAY easier!

I've heard of Ford Taurus fans fitting and working well for the stock radiator . . . anybody have any info on this? Tauruses (Tauri?) are much easier to find and the parts should be cheaper.

I did it with mine, but only one fit (the damn things are so BIG!)

Didn't have any heating problems, and that's in a tropical environment with plenty of traffic.

I would like more info on how to hook it up and i was thinking about running two small fans, any ideas or info on that
I read somewhere, a long time ago, that the '95 Camaro (I think it was Camaro) has twin efans...

I've heard of Ford Taurus fans fitting and working well for the stock radiator . . . anybody have any info on this? Tauruses (Tauri?) are much easier to find and the parts should be cheaper.
The first efan I put in my FC was out of a Taurus. I pulled it out again 3 months later (wasn't moving much air and my temp was running higher than the OEM belt fan) and replaced it with one out of a Lumina. The Lumina's okay, but a little loud and a shitty fit. I'll be looking for a Fiero fan soon. Thanx for the info, guys.


ttyl,
