Default junkyard find

just got back from the junkyard and i didn't find those explorers since all of them were 4.0 but i did find 3 taurus electric fans from a 1990, 92, and 94 and they were all within like 20 feet from each other. i got all 3 for 31 bucks!!

i was wondering if i could make one of these fans a pusher by changing the pos and neg and by turning the fan around?

Will the taurus fan directly fit into the mustang or does it require brackets and such? I used to work with electric rc cars and if you changed negative to the positive then the motor would spin the other way so yeah i think it would work. Keep me updated on how this goes through. I know taking out the fan on the engine adds more horses but i dont know how much.

why in the hell would you want a pusher fan??? they dont cool as well as a pull through fan. Just remove your stock clutch fan and shroud and install the taurus fan the same way it was in the taurus.... you will be suprised at how much better it will work.
