If the radiator is in good cond a stock fan should work fine IMO.

As long as it doesn't overheat don't worry about it.

Only thing I'd add to this is, if I was considering an electric fan it would be junk yard search time. Am convinced that the quality of OEM fans greatly exceeds the aftermarket . Not to overlook a hell of a lighter hit on the wallet.

Don't hold me to it but I think there's a thread or two on the hamb about using a thunderbird from the 90's electric dual fan combo. Maybe a v6 mustang e fan too.
