Mark 8 fan install on

[svt-sinister]

Im installing a mark 8 fan on my 1994 mustang gt and was wondering if i could just plug it in the stock plug and if it will work ok. I know it takes more power but i have a 150 amp alternator. Is it ok to install the fan this way? Has anyone installed one on a 94 95 mustang? Any help would be appreciated thanks. :thumbsup:

Yes, it just plugs in. No problems. The Mark VIII fan is bigger than the radiator though. I had a custom shroud built for mine so it would fit.

Couldnt i just cut the mark 8 shroud to make it fit?

The Mark VIII fan itself is taller than the radiator. (at least it is on my 5.0)

so all you need is a custom shroud?

Moving to the right section. :grin:

I have a Mark VIII fan in a custom shroud that I'll sell you! :grin:

 

[Javi]

how about you post dimensions of the custom shroud?
i could get one made. lol

It's not as simple as a rectangle with a hole in it. Basically, there is a provision for the fan to extend beyond the bottom of the radiator, but be blocked by the shroud to prevent air from being blown over anything but the radiator.

after i installed the 3" radiator my fan moved way back.
i wonder how much farther will be if i get a Mark fan?

My Fluidyne is thick, but not 3". It cleared with the Mark VIII fan. Of course, I also had an aftermarket k-member so who knows where that actually put the motor in relation to the car.
