Does it look like a fan from a computer case? In any case, it's not stock. Black 1998.5 3L Oval Port Full HMS Transmission Lots of other stuff Ressurected 06/14/06

IMRC failure is one of the MOST COMMON failures on the duratec, and its from the INSANE heat that builds up there. Whoever owned it before you knew this, and did a GOOD THING.
