I didn't win the Black Magic on ebay a couple of weeks back, so I'm still still in the market.

Looks like it should be pretty good. Most e-fans pulled off junkyard cars are 14". If you can rig up a shroud to fit around the whole rad with that fan it should work fine. My 91 escort fan has a full shroud and the same kind of blade design, which is a lot like the black magic fans. Actually, I compared a black magic from my local performance shop to my escort fan and I would swear the blades from the black magic were copied from the ford design.
I bought one for my FC, it overheated. It only pushes 12-1400 cfm, not big enough. Besides, the parts stores here sell the same fan for nearly 50 bucks less, save your money and buy one that pushes at least 1800-2000 cfm.
Funny thing is, I have 2 of those fans, one is on the 1/2 bp right now and I have no cooling problems. The only explaination I can offer is when I installed the front air dam, I opened it up quite a bit and have more air flow area than the FC has. If I leave the car car sitting and idling, it will get hot though. As soon as It moves, it cools right down.
Bottom line, find a bigger fan.

Yup on the high CFM rating. I had good experience on both derale 14 and 16 fans along with their t-stat. But for the cost, junkyard fiero fan it is.
