The Mark VIII motor is only in a Mark VIII fan. The Taurus/Sable and Lincoln Continental share a motor on the RF125 fan but its a smaller fan than the Mark VIII. The Mark VIII is an RF123 with a bigger motor.

Very in-ter-es-ting! (Remember Laugh In?)
I used the M8 fan because I had one in my garage from a car long departed. Was cleaning out the place and thought hmmmmm when I found it. All I know for sure is that it is strong. When it's on I have a very good draft under the car, much more so than with the Spal I had. I also use 2 'pusher' oe type fans in the front (home built) and I can run very well, even in ridiculous heat like we have now. Nice to know the lady luck smiled on me for a change!
