I paid around $100.00 with free shipping. i can post a few links to salvage yards that you ca also check. i am keeping the fan i got. i don't think dcc has any more of that particular fan but you can ask him. it may take up to 5 days before he gets back to you, but again, if it is a new fan, i for one would not use it. if you use the contour fan, you need the resistor at the bottom of his parts page and i would buy the wiring harness he sells. it will take him around 2 weeks to make the controller so plan on around 3 weeks to get it once you order it. that is a good write up and there are many others if you search the net. there are several ways to mount it. another one is to make L brackets or just buy them at home depot. they are used for shelving and wood working etc. you can also buy aluminum shrouds and buy spal fans to fit them but that gets a little pricey, however, since you are getting an engine from keith, it doesn't seem like cost is a major concern, lol. Hi Barnett, Reposting just in case you missed my final questions, as I think I am almost there. Again thank you alot for your advice, it is greatly appreciated! Craft got back with me and the block is 4.030" and compression will be 9.9:1. Do you think this Motorcraft contour replacement assembly is a decent alternative to a junkyard oem unit. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Engine-Cooling-Fan-Motor-Motor-Fan-Assy-Engine-Cooling-MOTORCRAFT-RF-81-/112312147805?hash=item1a26535f5d I also found this oem fan assembly, that I think is same as countor's but not sure as its part number is 95bb 8c607 GG instead of GE. I think the ford Mondeo is what this is for. But the listing shows it is compatible with contour. What do you think? https://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-OUT-OF-BOX-OEM-Ford-95BB-8C607-GG-Electric-Cooling-Fan/182683775478?hash=item2a88cd31f6:g:HLoAAOSw6B5ZdiC4&vxp=mtr Also do you know if this Griffin radiator has tubes at 3/8" on center, as I cannot find details anywhere. I know this is what you recommend and according to other posts you have dealt with Griffin personally in the past. http://www.griffinrad.com/load_details3.php?PartID=87&year=1969&make=Ford&model=Mustang&key_id=7-70039 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mike65 476 Report post Posted March 14, 2018 Sean, that looks exactly like the Contour dual electric fans I am putting in my 69 Coupe. I trimed off the stock mounting tabs & used some aluminum angle to mount the fan assembly to the radiator. 1 Sean D reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Barnett, will contact griffin. I believe these fans are OEM Ford parts, just wanted to know if you have seen or know the difference between the GG and GE ones.

Sean D 31 Report post Posted March 25, 2018 Hi Barnett, Still waiting on the Keith Craft 408w with High Flow water pump, bored to 4.030” and compression will be 9.9:1. I have the Milodon high flow 180 thermostat, Griffin 24" aluminum radiator, contour fans, and dcc controller should arrive early next week. Can you give me your thoughts on coolant and additives? Live in north Alabama and will not drive car in cold, however it does get a little hot down here! Sean Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
