electric fan question

[fordforlife]

i have a 91 gt, stock. The fan is cracked in several places (plastic fan) and ive been told that it feels like the fan clutch is starting to go as well. I can get the fan and clutch for about $65, or I can get an electric fan for about $50. Will the electric cool as well as the stock fan. Basically my question is, can I save a little cash and get the electric or do i need the stock fan?

By the way, whole reason I noticed all this was because it started running hot, I already replaced thermo just to make sure. thx!!!!

With the electric fan you will need a temp switch to control it.
For the $15 price difference I would go with the original setup (it lasted well over 10 years) and not have to deal with making any electrical modifications, or mounting modifications.

Im running dual BeCool fans on mine. Havent had a problem other than the stupid painless temp sensor keeps failing. So i hard wired it through a fuse and switch. No problems now. Oh and the fans only come on at stop lights anyway, so I have saved all that power. Im pretty sure summitracing.com has a direct bolt up fan and all you have to do is the wiring. I think its worth it. And you get more power for the simple mod.
