Taurus 3.8 Electric Fan Hotrod S10 V8 on 2040-parts.com
Slatington, Pennsylvania, US
Up for auction I have a used electric fan from a Ford Taurus with a 3.8 Motor. This is a very high powered fan rated at about 5000cfm that many people use to upgrade their current engine driven fan to free up horsepower. I have on of these installed on my 1989 S10 Blazer and it always keeps things cool even on the hottest of days. One thing I learned from installing this fan was that it has high current requirements and I needed to upgrade my alternator to compensate for this. You may or may not have to do the same depending on your alternator's current output. I will include a basic wiring diagram with this fan to show you how to wire it the way I did. This fan comes gently cleaned so that you will not have a greasy hand after pulling it out of the box and also comes with the stock plug removed from the Taurus it was in. This is a 2 speed fan, and was tested on both speeds with no problems. Any questions please feel free to ask. This fan measures 23.5" long X 18" high X 5.5" thick. You can get an even thinner fit by trimming the shroud down, I was able to get mine down to about 3.5" to fit in my S10. Thank you for your interest and good luck!

Behind the Mercedes it’s a Red Bull second row, with Sebastian Vettel taking third place and Mark Webber fourth, with the third row made up of the Lotus of Kimi Raikkonen and the Ferrari of Fernando Alonso.

Video: Jaguar's Julian Thomson on the importance of design values
Tue, 30 Oct 2012Jaguar's Head of Advanced Design, Julian Thomson, appeared at this month's PSFK Conference in London giving a talk on design values. Thomson's talk, ‘Concepting Dreams, Making Reality Happen', dealt with questions of creating a design story as well as how Jaguar uses the value of its heritage while keeping things original and new. Thomson – the man behind the 2010 C-X75 and the recently revealed F-Type – said, "You can't get a good design story if you don't look at your heritage, where you came from, where your values came from." He went on to discuss the ‘sad years of Jaguar', from around 1968 to 2004 where Jaguar was too timid to develop and "essentially made the same-looking car." He put this down to a reluctance on Jaguar's part to move too far away from its successful models and, quite interestingly, because "not only did we start doing market research, we started asking Americans what they wanted."
