To add to the fan info, the latest Car Craft mag has a good article about those Mk 8 and Thunderbird/Taurus/Cougar fans. They cautioned that the MK8 18 inch fan pulls 40 amps at high speed and 28 at low spd. They recommend a 100 amp alternator when running one.
I'd have to double check but I'm sure my 5.3l alternator is about 100A. It should work OK. The hard part for me will be to wire it to work with the ECT sensor AND the compressor.
