+1 ran the contour fan works great, nice and slim too. There's always the Taurus fan option if you have the room.

Is 96 the best year to fit or are there other years?

how hard was it to do all the wiring for it? Did you wire it like the taurus diagram from earlier on this post?

Kinda wiring was easy I forget the yr that the contour had dual fans but also the mystique have them.
I used one relay there are several ways to wire it up since its a dual fan

*****3G alt is a must***** I used the dual countour fans form a 1996-2000 2.5 has to be the V6 . also I traced all of the wireing back up to the dual 70amp stock FORD relay's in the fuse box one is black and the other is green and then I kept the factory resistor thats bolted to the fan shroud to keep every thing nice and clean then i used a hayden fan controler to fire the relays

On a side note I ran the taurus fan for two years and was not impressed

Same here I have been running the Taurus fan for 8 months and it work to say the most. It's a lower power version of Lincoln mark viii fan which I love but I have gone they 3 they always end up quitting on me but look great with the factory radiator bottle mounted and trimmed. That dual fan set up looks just as good I will try that next but for reliability and never having to wrench on it I'd go with good ol clutch and fan blade try the chp version unless ur anal about power it really not going to make a difference ill still be faster in the 1/4 hahahhaa

Buddy of mine swears by SPAL. I think racersix had one forsale on here.

+1 on the Contour fan, use a flex-a-lite controller, you should b able to get it up and running for around $200, better than any kit you can buy. Anyone that recommends others have never had a Contour fan.

I ended up using a thermostatic fan relay kit from auto it's holding up easy to wire I didn't want to wait for shipping and all

I might end up selling my contour fans of an 96 cus I have a little race crank pulley and it messes up my charging system pretty bad with the dual fans even with a 3G alternator so get at me if interested
