My core is only 18" wide and the distance from the radiator to the water pump pulley is only 4" as the crow flies. Was I right on the SHO fan? Where did you get the info that that fan you posted was from a SHO?Dave

Same for me, I am going to get the fan and make sure all systems are go before I worry about wiring.
The more I read, the more confused I am getting. The SHO fan is supposedly a 16" swept blade with two speeds and was produced in early to mid 90's. According to an email I received from the Seller, the fan I bought is actually a 17" blade with two speeds from a later model Lincoln Continental/MKVIII. But the pic I have looks just like the SHO fan. He also says that there is another Lincoln fan out there that has 18" chopper blades and requires 6" mounting depth, but it blows a whopping 5500 cfm.
So I am not sure about all these fan models, I am just regurgitating what I am learing through reading. No wonder American auto makers are in the toilet, too many discreet part requirements when one or two fans could have served the model whole lineup for a decade.
Here is a link with some good pics and part #s for Ford/Mercury and Lincoln:
