how bout electric cooling fans?

think it might be worth any fuel economy? throttle response? how bout some horsepower? either way...is it possible? what kinda fans do i need to get (cfm rating wise) and can i actually benefit from this other than just cleaning up the engine bay and making belt service easier?

if you tow heavy, stick with the stock fan system,

you can use electric fans, like flexilite and such, anything is doable

seems like i could get away with it honestly...i'm normally driving empty and if i tow anything it won't ever be over 10K, which means my gross would only be ~15-16K. but i need to know what the part number is on the fans he's using and if they'll work decently in a 1st gen.
