Another possible E-Fan donor

I am currently working on changing trannies in my lil bros 98 escort ZX2. We decided to pull the radiator fan out for more room. I looked at its size and decided to "eyeball" the size for my rx. It is roughly 1-2 inches short top to bottom and maybe an inch too wide. My measurements are the fan and shroud. Also it is off centered so I am thinking that it would be out of the way from the pullies, etc.

Opinions???

People have said that the fiero is a good donor. Also the Ford Taurus (not sure if older or newer ones though). I noticed that the shroud was about the right size and that is just as important as the fan itself. Or so I have seen on here.

Im sure theres a number of cars the you could use the fan from.

What engine does your bros zx2 have? My bro has a 95 escort. It had a 1.9 and we did a swap to a 2.0 Split Port Induction. It ran for a day then quit. Now its at the shop
