Radiator/fan combo for ranger swap

[smacknab]

Hi friends,

I have an 87 TC engine in my 93 ranger originally with a 2.3. Looking for suggestions on radiator/electric fan combos that people have run on similar swaps - as well as what hoses did you use.

Any suggestions/insights are appreciated.


Im currently using the old 2.3na radiator with clutch fan and I can't remember which hoses. Since the thermostat outlets are different from the na engine the top hose crosses paths with the fan. Currently using zip ties to pull it out of the way a little bit. I'm the process of tuning it so I'm not pushing it hard or with high boost, but I also can't get temps reliably over 160. Hoping electric fan will solve the problem, and already got a Ron Francis harness and pimpx so the electrical should be easy

Here is the Ranger radiator/electric fan info in the FAQ:

The hoses in the pic is the original unit from the Mustang or Turbo Coupe (can't remember which, it's been 20+ years). There are also universal flex hoses available for basically any length and size.
