Im considering putting electric fans on my 2001. I have a dual electric fan off of a Lincoln Continental. If this wont fit I'm not going to do it, haven't measured yet. Thinking about using on front of radiator as a pusher, once again, not sure if it will work. Mainly thinking about this to gain a couple mpg. Partially just because I can.

 

Not sure if it will fit but I can tell you that you aren't going to gain any mpg's from adding an efan sorry.

 

I forgot to mention i would also be removing the clutch fan.

 

You still probably wont notice any mpg improvement, but if it is done right you will have better cooling, and wont have to listen to that loud a$$ clutch fan anymore. And I would probably set it up as a puller instead of in push configuration (that's just me though) that way you have room to put a trans cooler and whatever else you want in front of the rad.

 

I really don't have much interest in and external trans cooler, I was thinking about adding a filter int the trans line.

 

Yeah I have intrepid Efans installed and the clutch fan removed and I got exactly 0 mpg gain. Like swells said tho I would set it up as a puller rather than pusher. 1. It will be a far easier install 2. You will leave space in front for other things and 3. If done properly it can look factory

 

If removing the clutch fan offers no gains, it there any advantage?

 

Slight horsepower gain, you will feel it, I did. My mileage increased a bit also. Every little bit helps

 

Nope. The auto manufacturers do everything they can to improve mileage & performance. If electric fans made a difference, they'd use them. Granted, the clutch fan is noisy, but it's far more efficient and less expensive than electric. That's why the vast majority of RWD vehicles use them.
