I'm planning on changing the cooling fan for the summer.  What sizes are other people using, the T-bird vendors seem to be selling 16 inch, but it seems that there is enough clearance for a larger fan and I want all the cooling I can get.

Thanks,
Don

If you are running the stock shroud, 16 inch is about all you can shove in there, based on my 56 Bird.  Go with the 5 - 6 blade that is available if you want additional cooling.

I've searched several times, and can't find it. But Greenbird56, Steve Metzer, had a posting on using a Hayden fan clutch and a cut down larger fan. I couldn't go that route due to the blower, but I'd do it in a minute if I could. Since Tucson gets to 107 degrees, I'm inclined to believe him. Maybe that got lost in the last update, or I'm not searching properly, or he'll chime in with it.

For sure you want to run the shroud, and the repop lower one that goes out to the corner of the radiator.
