Rock Auto has a few, but looks like they all have the trans cooler built in.http://www.rockauto.com/catalog/emailpagetofriend.php?nurl=%2Fen%2Fcatalog%2Fmercury%2C1972%2Cmontego%2C5.8l%2B351cid%2Bv8%2C1201824%2Ccooling%2Bsystem%2Cradiator%2C2172Do you have a local rad shop? A good rad shop could build you whatever you want. Otherwise I am sure you can get an OEM style replacement from most parts stores.

OE is easy, tossing E fans into the mix is quite a ways past that
it can get downright complicated including an upgraded alternator also, you don't want a cheap fan package adding weight in the wrong places |

I have a setup out of a '96 Crown Vic that looks awful close. If I can get by my shop today, I'll try to get some measurements.

Windstar dual cooling fan assembly is a good option, just about a perfect fit, I had to trim a few spots to get mine to fit and it will keep my 472 cool even with a/c, the wiring is "involved" but worthwhile to do right the first time.

Yeah, It's a Hybrid...It burns gas and tires. No matter how good she looks, somebody, somewhere, is tired of her sh*t. Beauty is skin deep, ugliness goes clear to the bone. |

Hey Aquartlyow, I just got on this site, nice to see you here. I tried messaging you on ranchusa. your advice on fans and wiring was excellent this site is lucky to have you !
I am running into a problem with my new radiator/ cooling fan install. its been so long ago that I cant find the original rubber mounting brackets for radiator. Do you have any spares ? also I don't know where the other brackets go ! do you have diagram of core support ? thanks for all you help

Welcome to the forum, it is MUCH calmer climate over here with a WHOLE LOT less(if any at all) BS as compared to the "other" forum. I wish I had some spare pieces for the core support but no dice. You will find lots of great and helpful folks here without the "attitudes" that some forums thrive on.
