Default ELECTRIC FAN HELP

For those that have converted over to electric fans, what type of fan would you recommend to keep my mustang cool. It does have the usual cam, intake, aluminum heads, etc...

What are you guys running.... single or dual fans?
What size fan blade?

A lot of guys pick up contour factory fans from a junk yard and add some type of aftermarket controller. I run a black magic 185 extreme with good results.

Ok, thanks for that advise. I have an electric fan i picked up from a junk yard before i asked on here. It's working ok but i can tell it's struggling, i notice my heat creeping up as i go through town and it's running all the time.

The contour dual fan set up is great. I just hooked one up to mine I would say a month ago, give or take. I run a 331 stroker, high lift cam, the works. At the same time I also installed a 180 t-stat, my gauge never creeps a millimeter over even after beating on her. The fan enclosure fits dang near perfect over the stock radiator and mounts pretty simply.
