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] - 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?

John - I want to drive my car this summer (triple digit heat in the valley) and am upgrading as a preventative measure.

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.
