[QUOTE="tt335ci03cobra, post: 15618920, member: 68944"] If it is the fan dying, get a 1997-98 Lincoln mk8 fan and have it rewound at an electric motor shop. 3500-5000cfm Low/high. I think it's probably not the fan, it's probably a pulley. Pinpoint and replace. Then see what the temps are like. If it's still hot, the heat exchanger pump may have let go. Chances are good that a few components have failed or are failing in unison. These are basically 15 year old cars now. When one thing let's go, it exacerbates the thermal or physical load onto another weak (worn) link in the various systems. Domino effect comtinues until you lose something major like a valve guide or seat and melt a head/need a rebuild. Get everything happy and healthy, then look into putting e85 and a pd blower. If you do it the other way, you'll be buying an engine soon. [/QUOTE]
