What fans do you like?
I have a 94 S-10 Blazer with the 4.3/W Vortec, and I'm trying to settle on the best means to cool the radiator. I have always hated the factory clutch fan (blows too much and robs too much power), and I tried an electric fan made for the S-10 (which didn't blow enough), and I have had cars with flex fans (which ate water pumps), so I am not sure which way to go next. Any ideas from the forum members would be helpful.

Ford taurus fan or the dual dodge intrepid fans (mine being the dodge)

My V8S10 has dual electric fans, I put one on a 170 degree switch and the other on about a 190, it sounded cool when the second one would come on. I have them mounted on the motor side of the rad so they pull through. Never had a problem with them not cooling enough. Ill put electric fans on my blazer one day once I change the motor.
You might also want to consider changing to a larger rad...?

Taurus fan FTW! Those fans are all I've seen people use when doing a V8 swap. They're reasonably priced at your local junkyard. Take a battery with you to test it out before you pull. Both fans are 2-speed.

Are Taurus fans a straight drop in and bolt up? How do you wire it up? What year Taurus's? I'm very curious of this mod. Any info will be helpful.

I am also interested in details on installing a dual electric fan set-up. Do you modify the existing fan shroud, or cobble another way of securing the radiator in the truck, since the fan shroud is used for that purpose?
As for Taurus fans - we traded in a Taurus for the Blazer, and my wife hated that car. To this day she so despises the Taurus name, she won't even look at the new one. If I put Taurus parts on my Blazer, she will kick my butt eight ways from Sunday!
