I'm looking into upgrading my cooling system for my fox.
(currently a 4 core radiator, stock fan, Edelbrock water pump)
What setup water pump and fan setups do you use to keep your car running cool?

Aluminum radiator,electric fan set up as a puller on a t-stat control,and another electric fan set up as a pusher on a dash switch for hot days.

Ford Racing aluminum/plastic radiator, Black Magic Flex-a-lite electric fan, no a/c condenser, and an Edelbrock pump.
Thing runs super cold, had to put a 195 degree thermostat in it to get the motor up to temperature.

I run a 3.0 v6 single full shroud 3 wire ford
CliTaurus electric fan ![[Big Grin]](biggrin.gif) - You'll need to upgrade your alternator though... many people run these fans with great results.
I bought mine from a pickapart junk yard on half off weekend -$30. There are other model cars that have even better fans But the taraus fan works good enough -They're in the early 90's taurus's

Are you upgrading for cooling issues or to remove the clutch fan?

never had any problems with my fluidyne aluminum radiator and mark8 cooling fan, low speed triggered by a 195* on 180* off temp switch, and high speed on a switched relay. I only ran the high speed switch when in the pits at the track to cool it off faster.

I've always ran the Ford Racing aluminum radiator and either a Mark 8 or Black Magic fan. Run the stock thermostat if you're sticking with a automatic thermostat controller, a 180* if you're using the adjustable version.
