I was needing a fan to mount on the rad on my engine run stand. I did some research on the interweb and saw where some people were running fans used on Crown Vics and Fusions on their resto mods, so off to the local pull a part I went. The few Crown Vics I found had been stripped of pretty much everything usable. There were several Fusions but it appears they all have dual fans which didn't appeal to me, and on top of that you needed a contortionist to get to the hardware holding those fans in place.
So I left the furd section and wondered over to where some of ma's best were resting. After gazing at minivans, jeeps, chrysler 200s, 300s, chargers and every other model they produced for the last 20 years I came across a 2009 Dodge Journey. It had the typical 4 banger mounted crossways, but it had lots of room between the engine and rad. There mounted on the shroud was a nice big electric fan with 4 mounting bolts and rubber isolators and the wiring harness with the relay mounted right next to the fan. I cut the wiring upstream of the relay and had the mounting bolts out in less than 2 minutes. I even tested it on a battery outside the office and it fired up like a 747 on takeoff. $23 later I'm the proud owner of a nice fan for my run stand.
As you see it would be easy to mount to one of those flat sheet metal shrouds that lots of people use on their rads. It measures about 20" across and moves a considerable amount of air, and even has rubber isolators for a good installation. I looked up the part number and it's used on 2009 - 2020 Journeys, so there's lots of them out there. Part # 68102119aa
