What E-fan is this?
It looks like a flexalite lowboy high-perf. trimline, but some details are off.

Can anyone tell me exactly what this is? Sorry for the bad pictures.

who cares run a relay to it and try it in your car and make sure you test the temps with the stock set up then try the e-fan if your engine runs cooler the walla...but if it doesnt and the stocker beats the heat...toss that bizzznatch in the trash because you want to upgrade not downgrade

search for relay ...there you will find the next step in going e-fan...dont just run it direct to the battery

You will need to connect the fan to run when the car is powered.. Do even think about using a thermal sensor.. it will be too late you car will be Heated. Seriously the stock fan does a way better job in cooling the car than any electric fan would.

Well of course I'm gonna have a relay set up if I use the fan. I'm gonna test it this weekend to see how much air it pulls compared to the stocker.

2400cfm atleast is what you need most autoparts store ones are in the range of 1400-1800 ...trust me i needed one in an emergency burn out and its didnt do crap for me so it should be pwerfull enough that if you stick 3 sheets of school notebook paper it would hold

my autozone emergency one couldnt even hold 1 sheet...now i went ford thunderbird baby i can suck up racoons with this thing

good luck

I tested it with a 12v power supply, not quite from the car, but the fan did pull some decent air. I have yet to test the 3 paper method with the radiator.
