The black magic is the best one out there. But if your looking for something cheaper your can get an old taurus fan.

well as far as I know there is two different black magic fans and a dual 12 inch electric fan. Here is a link for them http://www.brothersperformance.com/c...ds=fan&x=0&y=0

A lincoln mark 8 fan is probably the best followed by a taurus 3.8L fan, which I have in my car. The lincoln fan may be a little hard to find in a wrecking yard but the 3.8L taurus fan is a piece of cake to find. I got mine for $15. If you haven't done so you will need to upgrade your alt to a 3g alt.

Would one of those fans work in my 1990 GT?
