Ford Performance SVT Performance Cooling Fan (05-14 Mustang GT, GT500)

Video Review & Installation

This is the Ford Performance SVT Performance Cooling Fan for 2005 to 2014 GT and GT500 Mustangs. This is a direct fit replacement upgrade cooling fan, and you could be checking this thing out for a few different reasons. If you're just looking to replacing your stock fan, this could be an option. Or if you're looking for an upgraded fan to pair with other cooling system upgrades like a radiator, this could be a good option for you, too. Whether your car is stock or you have some modifications, upgrading your fan is gonna help keep your temperatures down. People upgrade their fans to help battle summer heat or keep things cool after they add some mods to their Mustang and have more horsepower. Since this is a direct fit replacement, the install for this fan is very easy. It's a one out of three wrenches in the difficulty meter, and you can plan on spending two hours getting this on the car. This fan is more powerful than the factory GT fan is when you look at cooling ability. This is the cooling fan that comes stock on 2013 Shelby GT500, which is made for higher performance demands. The SVT fan is about a one-half inch larger than the factory GT fan is. It also has seven blades that are smaller in size than the six blades that are on the factory GT fan. This design allows the SVT fan to flow more air, both at high speeds and also at idle. The SVT fan also has four slides that are on the bottom. These open from air crush when you're driving at high speeds, which opens up more air flow. The other difference is that the fan motor is thinner than the stock GT fan motor. It doesn't stick out as far on the engine side. This being a Ford Performance part that comes stuck on some models means that this has some other plus sides, too. First of all, you can guarantee the Ford Performance quality and fitment. If Ford Performance tells you that this is a direct fit replacement, then it's a direct fit replacement. This is gonna be a direct bolt and upgrade for the GT and a replacement for the GT500, even your wiring and your plugs. It fits in the factory location without any issues or modifications. Ford Performance and the product page said that these would not fit the V6 Mustang because it's not a direct fit replacement for the V6. Customers have mentioned that they've installed this on the V6, but you will need to make some modifications mostly to the fan trout itself for it to fit in the front end of the V6. So for you guys out there that are thinking about it, I know it's been done in the past but I'm still gonna stick with saying that this is only for the GT and the GT500. When it comes to price, you can expect to pay just over $200 for this cooling fan. This is a Ford Performance part that's originally equipped on the '13 GT500. So if you compare it to other options on the site, you'll notice that this is a little bit more expensive, but the other fan options are universal fit and they're not OE performance-based options. And overall, I wouldn't say that this is expensive. This price point makes this fan a good option for someone just looking to replace a stock fan or for someone building a car that needs more cooling ability from the cooling system. The install is easy. It's a one out of three wrenches in the difficulty meter since this is a direct fit replacement. You can plan on spending an hour or two getting this on the car. You will need some basic hand tools but nothing out of the ordinary to get the install done. You'll start the install by pulling the cover that's on the red. This is held in by plastic retainers that you can gently pry up on. Disconnect the mass air flow sensor and unplug it. You will need to remove the air filter and the intake assembly. When it comes to the coolant reservoir, you can completely remove it or you can tilt it back out of the way. It's gonna be up to you. If you wanna remove it, you'll need to disconnect the hoses running to it and unbolt it from the car. After that, you need to unbolt the factory fan. There will be a few bolts that you need to back out, and you'll need to unclip the electrical connection, too. You're gonna remove the factory fan by pulling off on it until it clears the car. You may need to shift it back and forth to get it free. The new fan only uses two bolts. You'll install this fan in the reverse order and button everything back up that you took off the car. After the install is complete, you're gonna wanna start the car and let it get to operating temperature. Check for any fluid leaks and make sure that the fan works properly, and that's all it's gonna take. That's gonna wrap things up for the Ford Performance SVT Performance Cooling Fan for the 2005 to 2014 GT and GT500. You can always check it out more online right here at americanmuscle.com.
