how many cfm's dose a stock fan on a 87-93 mustang pull?

i want to know this too because im looking for a electric that pulls enough air. the stock fan is enough to cool off the car so i need to know how much that is so i get a fan that is at least that much or more

the stock engine driven fan is variable speed depending on engine speed, so it don't run a just one speed. plus it also is not needed much above 35 mph as the air flow through the radiator at speed is enough to keep the engine cool, which is why the fans have clutches on them so they can disengage at some point. I use a Flexilite Black Magic electric fan in my Stang and it is rated at 2,000 cfm if memory serves me correctly and it comes with an adjustable thermostatic switch so it can cut itself off when it's not needed.

i think its 2800 cfm's is that more than the stock fan at idle

yeah, i understand how it works lol, but im like stanglx i wanted to know the cfm's of a stock fan at max that way i know how much to look for. how well does your black magic fan cool? i was looking at spal fans, they seam to be good looking and are supposed to last a long time. their is the link they have a lot of fans, they have little ones for trans coolers to

it keeps my engine cool but I also have the Ford racing raditor too, so I can't say how it would do with the stock rad on the street since I only installed it after I made my Stang a strip only car.

Black magic- 2800 cfms

X-treme black magic - 3300 cfms
