RE: 89 LX 5.0; stock cooling was great this weekend
ORIGINAL: Twisted
My cooling system is stock, and performs perfectly even in 100 degree+ weather. I think Ford did a great job with the oem setup. Oddly, my carseems to runcooler in traffic than it does while driving, as measured on my Autometer temp gauge. I guess that fan does it's job well. Given, my entire cooling system is only like a year old...all stock though.

Seems backwards to me too. I bet it has something to do with our cars being bottom-feeders...in terms of airflow through the radiator. GT radiatorsonly get air through a small section of the front end while driving...and the A/C condensor is mostly blocking that opening. That giant fan might just do a better job on its own.
