Doubt the Mustang fan is a Mark VIII fan...
Here's the fan that I bought NEW:
1998 Mark VIII fan,
part numbers RF-64 and/or F8LH-8C607-AA
I got from autopartsgiant; they're selling for $227.66 right now, but remember it's brand new.

Not that fan, particularly, but that size and style fits on C3 corvette's very nicely. Very little to trim, cut to make it fit.
Add: just make sure it a 2 speed fan unit.

that particular one says it comes with relays, switchs, solenoids etc, might not be a bad one to go with.
if no one can see a reason why i shouldnt use the one that bigblock tank linked to i think its going to be mine

I looked at it, looks good. I can't see why he includes a toggle switch, I didn't use one in mine because I'm older, and I forget ****. I rely on relays, and temp sensors, just me.

id love to see some close up pics of how you mounted it, especially any temp senders that connect to the head or block somewhere.
i just bought the fan linked to above and now i just need to figure out how to get it on.
coincidently i just flushed my cooling system with the white vinegar trick and on the backflush it ran dark brown for about 15 minutes. hopefully between the fan and the flush next summer in san antonio wont be so nerve racking to drive in.

I'm glad to see someone else is happy with that fan. There for awhile, I thought I was the only one on here that did.
I really like your attachment decision. I just made 4 tabs for each corner, kinda sorta. I am gonna change mine. Can you tell a little more in depth, in PM? Thanks BBTank
