Cold Case w/ electric fan vs factory fan and shroud
Dang, that's a lot. The '95-2000 Ford Contour set up is only about 3.5" deep at it's widest point, which is to the back of the motors. The rest of the shroud is about 3". With my 3 core Champion 26" radiator and the Contour fans the back of the fan motor is about 6" from the radiator support. Even it probably wouldn't fit if the fan motors were inline with the water pump pulley. Fortunately, with the dual fan set up the motors aren't centered so the deepest part is offset from the pulley. Something else to consider when looking at a particular fan arrangement.
I have a write up and links to the parts in my build thread. I use the 95-2000 Contour V6 fans, which pull about 3,000 cfm on the low speed and ~5,000 cfm on high speed. I use a Dakota Digital controller and a pair of fan relays. I used goldduster318's instructions to guide my install, which should be attached at the bottom as a PDF.
My "new" '74 Duster- or why I need a project like a hole in the head
