what car to pull a oem fan off of?

hey guys lots of people say pull the electric fan off of a ford tempo or a pontiac fiero.... what im asking is which is the best one to get off of a stock car unless the aftermarket ones are better than those.. the reason is i work at a body shop and can get oem parts for a good price brand new. thanks in advance

Ford Escort - it's a 2-speed with a shroud that fits.

i cant speek from personal expereince but i have heard a few stories of guys with aftermarket e-fans being dissapointed. while ive never heard anything bad from those using escort/taurus/feiro fans. so i think consesus is that they are better, and ussualy cheaper too.

i know what you mean.. ive read post about how some black magic fans suck and the shrouds do not cool the engine sufficiently.. thats the reason im trying to see what oem part i can put on mine also because its cheaper for me too...
