I won't comment on the ebay auction, other than to say that used is used.

I installed a 16" curved vane fan on my old race car and it worked very well. It is made by Allstar Performance and is the curved vane type, which is more efficient than a straight blade version. It has the highest CFM rating of any 16" fan I have found.

Call me at 800-882-7231 if you are interested. I think they run around $85.

Okay I found a fiero fan at pick n pull for 30 bucks, it fits the stock rad perfectly, only is like 1 inch shorter in length, though the fan blades are bigger than the stock ones, and dame it pulls alot of air!, FYI any electric fan will give the same power benifits, but no the same cooling benefits..............

revs much faster, get an adjustable thermostate, so it doesn't run alll the time, if you remove your a/c compenents your rad will get much more air.....
