16" Flex-a-lite Black Magic from summitracing if you're willing to drop cash. I personally run that model and am very happy with it. There are other cheaper options; use the search button or wait for others to enlighten you.

Summit or Jeg's catalog....$120 for a Derale 16" fan, 2100+ cfm, fits nicely inside the factory shroud with a tiny bit of trimming on the bottom left corner of the shroud.

If you're going to be a junkyard dawg about it, someone did a mid '90s Ford Taurus fan swap they were screaming about...but how much longer would a junkyard fan last when it's already seen 100,000+ miles of service life?? Cooling system on a rex is definitely one area where you buy everything new. There should be plenty of $$ leftover after buying the cheapo Carter fuel pump...

Dere ya is...what year? That way if the guy wants to go junkyard shopping, he's armed with useful info...I still recommend a new-out-of-the-box Derale, though...
