I'll verify the timing mark. I assume the builder (my old friend) made that mark.

The radiator surface area (fin area) is 21x18. The outside dimensions are about 26x18.5x2.25".

Note that I only have about 3.5" of clearance between the radiator and the front of the pulley, so that fan won't fit. (I looked at it last night on Summit and couldn't find anything that would fit and flow that much cfm.)

I'll snap a pic later this evening.

EDIT: I've got a Summit order pending. In my cart:
FlowKooler 1649 - FlowKooler Hi Flow Mechanical Water Pumps
FlowKooler 330-160 - FlowKooler Robertshaw Series High Performance Thermostats (and some sort of gasket)

I don't mind adding a new electric fan if there's one I missed. If I'm gonna throw some parts at this thing, I just assume do it once. the car will think it's x-mas morning

Well, there should be a way to move the rad outward some, or would think so. You could also probably trim the shroud some too.

Not to mention that the highest part it the fan motor, and on the dual fans those are offset from the centerline, which could clear the water pump. That's probably where you measured from, right? Did you measure to the fins or the tanks?

Here's a Black Magic, I've heard and seen good things with these, and draw 3300:

It's a single fan, and pretty sure you could trim the shroud by a half inch. It's 4.188 deep, but that is in the middle being a single fan.

You can make something work for sure. Ask others with the same body style what they use to get ideas.

I'll be following your results. That core size is very close to a 1st gen FB core size, which is why the Taurus fan fits it pretty closely. My A-body experience is limited.

I just ditched my Taurus fan, and will never go back. It seemed to blow good air at idle, but I speculate that it might inhibit high speed air flow. And since I can't do the back of the hand flow-meter test at 60 mph, I can really only speculate.
