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

Thanks for all the input, I was already planning on the thermostat and baffle and I think I've figured out my problem with fan size.  I currently have a 18" six blade like this,  http://www.summitracing.com/parts/flx-1018/overview/   , which has very narrow blades.  When you factor in the wider blades of a more conventional fan it might make the effective diameter greater than just measuring across the center of the blade.

I've used that style fan, and I don't think they move near the air the factory units do.
