     Allan,
     
     I bought my fan asy in Sept. of '93 from Frontier Ford in Santa Clara, 
     CA.  The part # is FMCC9DZ8600A.  Cost was $63.06 list.  Ph. # is 
     408/247-6583.  If this doesn't pan out, Norm had a contact at one of 
     the dealerships in his local as I recall.
     
     I was told that I would need to take from 3/8 to 1/2 inch off of ea. 
     blade.  I took 1/2".  Hindsight, I probably could have gotten away 
     with 3/8".  Just needed to pull the lower corners of the fan shroud 
     out a small amount.
     
     Good luck,
     
     JC

Well, finally getting off my keister and employing many of the 
recomendations made regarding cooling Tigers.
     
The radiator is out of the Tiger and will be re-cored with a 4 row Modine 
later on this week.  Am considering the Edelbrock or Stewart Hi-Po Water 
pumps for later on.
     
In the meantime, I would like to get my hands on one of those 6-blade Ford 
Canadian Fans.  Have tried many Ford dealers to no avail.....seems as though 
the part is discontinued.  Did some junk yard shopping this weekend and 
could not locate any 69-70 Mavericks with Air Conditioning that had the Fan 
intact.  Any sources you can offer??? Do ya have one lying around gathering 
dust??  
     
Thanks for any help the list can offer.  And most importantly, thanks to 
all the good advice from the list that has lead to these modifications. 
(Including blocking the openings near the horns.....figure it actually 
dropped 5 degrees and kept the car cooler, longer, than ever before!)
     
Regards,
