i got a electric fan kicking around out of a 98 grand marq. 4.6L, i know i'll have to upgrade the alt. but my question is, is it good enough for a 5L?

86 5.0L

Should be fine. When my fan cylces from ON to OFF. It only take a few seconds. Don't actually know the numbers from ON to OFF but it pulls it down literally in less than one minute.

Another thing is when it's idling, like in traffic and it has NOT reached it's ON temp and I start driving it. It comes down really fast. This tells me a bit of air flow through the radiator it's things drop instantly to thermostat temperature.

This is unlike some cars that need to be driven for miles to cool them down or their fans need to run constantly to keep them cool.

I used the fans out of a mid 90's Nissan Maxima V6. Trimmed the sides of the shroud down with a drimmel and wired a relay for each fan. Hooked it up to a toggle and to a acc. Works great, My car overheated to 235ish(stuck thermostat) one day and I turned the car off but left my fans on and it cooled the coolant down to 175 degree's in around 5 to 10 minutes. Plus with it setup like that my car runs cooler at the track because I keep my fans running constantly even when I am not in the staging lanes.
