280~Master Posted February 22, 2006 Share #1 Posted February 22, 2006 Ok went to the junk yard to pull some relays and other things for the Z and found a Ford Escort radiator that has the right dimentions but the bottom outlet is faceing the wrong way. I pulled this radiator out with the fan shroud and fan still attached. Got home and found out that this Escort shroud will hold the 2 speed Taurus fan just perfect. What makes this such a nice find is the fan is mounted to the side of the shroud. Which is good :rambo: because when installed it will clear the water pump to allow for the taurus fan mod.. The fan will sit just above the AC compressor and just right of the water pump pully. Now this is a theary for test fits by looking and holding in place on a parts car. Hopping to get this fitted by this weekend with pictures. Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/topic/18992-new-find-escort-fan-shroud/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

280~Master Posted February 23, 2006 Author Share #3 Posted February 23, 2006 Did a test fit on the radiator today and all is well and clear. This should also help with the heat on the L6 motor due to the location of the fan. Should blow most of the heat from the exhaust under the car and help cool the intake just a bit. This could lead to ? and might help out performance.
