Ford Contour SVT dual fan set up. Monster air and slim design Best part is in the center of the fan there is about 1/2"-1" of meat you can trim out if needed

Can be had new on ebay for around $100 or so. I bought mine used on there. Rock Auto has them IIRC or did when i bought mine. I wired mine up to a cheap controller not sure how these guys are doing it. Looks like one of them has used the factory harness from the contour...

Ive heard great things about Champion Radiators and there are a few really good threads on here and even a dealer here. Affordable and look quality.

There are TONS of info on radiators here. Im using a JEGS 2 row alum and fan from Ford Contour wired to a controller

You know something I thought of was the factory vent tubing. The flimsey plastic stuff. Maybe figure out a way to insulate that to keep it from losing heat? Just and idea.

The price looks high for what your looking at. Ive seen the size your looking at all day the time for $100-150 range

Super cheap huge air amp draw isnt bad and with a little trimming fits a 26" radiator well. Running mine with a Hayden controller pretty plug and play really.

im running a Ford Contour SVT fan. Rated at 3600cfm and 30-35amp depending on what you read.

Im guessing your saying I need more clearance?

The specs ive found for this seem to vary. But sitting between 3500-3800cfm and 30-40 amps.

I searched the web for an affordable set up to cool my BB. Though some other forms I came across this set up. The radiator is a 26" 2 row 1" core from JEGS. The fan is out of a 2000 Ford Contour V6. I didn't fit with the fan shroud in stock form. I had to trim the outer lip which gained me about...

Youngun your idea is about what i had in mind. So yours is sorta cradled not actually bolted in?

aftermarket 2 row alum radiator and a dual fan set up out of a 1998-2000 Mercury Cougar/Ford Contour fan. 3500cfm at 30amps or so. TON of air

I got one of those JEGS 2 row alum radiators. The ones with no mounting areas on the side. Anyone thats run one got photos of how they installed theres?

See now thats the kind of hot rodding i was looking for. I did a google search only got a few hits though.

I see what you are talking about. Do you happen to know if the hole on the pass side is the same size as the driver? Not really concerned about looks or door being backwards. Just an effective way of closing off that but still be able to function.

Ive deleted heat in my scamp. The hole left open from removing the heater box. can i use a driver side fresh air box in its place? Or have have yall done this with race cars?

I went this route as well. But it really depends on what size radiator you plan to use. That Contour fan is a pretty wide set up.

well belts are cheap. But what kind of water pump? Stock replacement or some type of high volumn?

Thats kinds of odd. You would think at the higher speed the more air going though the radiator. How about the belt? Maybe slipping at higher speed.

Champion Radiators. There is a dealer on here look in the Mechanical sale section. wanna say his name is like calgarychallenger or something to that tune.

I guess I have to question building a car and trying to cool it with $25 ebay fans? Also I have heard people saying the 3 row Champion doesnt cool as good as the 2 row because the tubes are smaller. To the original poster look into a quality set up with a shroud. I certainly wouldnt want to be...

I like the way this guy thinks and he is right. When it rolled off the factory line it was just fine. Unless you have put some performance parts or changed something dramatically. What was there from stock should be sufficiant to cool.

What that ment was in relation to my first post about the hose collapsing. You made some upgrades to suspected areas (which can't hurt) and it didnt fix the problem. Which means the problem is most likely with something you haven't changed. I was mearly suggesting things that you havent tried...

that and to say that you have thrown some parts at it and gotten a bigger radiator.. Means there is still an underlying problem.

It may not be collapsing but under heavy loads while driving. I would trying it and see. auto parts store should have it.

Something not mentioned. The bottom radiator hose does it have the spring in it? I see people on here with same problems and its because the lower hose is collapsing not allowing proper flow?

An email I got from Geoff at Champion. I have some 2 and 3 rows with 3/4" tubes and some 2 Rows with the 1" tubes. Do you need the 26" wide core or the 22" ? I may be easier of you called...thanks! Geoff 714-974-1650
