Who is using an oil deflector under the intake?

There's been a lot written about junkyard fans that do the job more than adequately. Ford fans from the early 90's specifically. Off the top of my head, I believe they were the fan from the 3.8 V6 as used in early 90's Taurus models, the dual fan from a little later Cougars (don't remember the exact year or this one, but I know there was a dual fan that people use that's supposed to be good), and then the big one is the Lincoln Mark VIII fan. You can get these all very cheap at a junkyard or brand new ones of most of them from Rockauto even for under $100. Throw in a higher amp alt for the other $100 and there you go. Less than $200 - a lot less if you find one at a junkyard.

Absolutely I agree! I am very familiar with the Taurus fans. They WORK. But that's not exactly what I meant. Someone building a high end car for example, they're not going to use a junkyard Taurus fan. Those are the examples of NEW AFTERMARKET fans I was asking about. It's well known that an electric fan has to move "around" 4K CFM to be effective. Those are NOT cheap. But for most everyday builds, I agree with your examples 100%. They work well and are cheap.
