I see Ford 6 bladed fans on Ebay for quite a bit of money. Unless your fan
must have Ford markings, National parts Depot sells a Deral # 17315 six
bladed 15 " fan with 5/8" center hole for $28.00. The one I bought has steel
blades but on the back of the box Deral # 17515 is the same with aluminum
blades.


On Ebay # 280118447521 is listed as Sunbeam Tiger LAT oil pan. It is
supposed to be the LAT 4 option. The curious thing is that the word Tiger is
not on the pan, just a blank space where the Tiger or Cobra (for that matter)
lettering is supposed to go. It says powered by Ford under the blank spot.
The lister says Chrysler wouldn't allow the Cobra name so it is blank but
Powered by Ford was acceptable to Chrysler. ????? He says he talked to Shelby
and it is correct. Doesn't make sense to me. All the photos I've seen have
Tiger on the pan. Back in the day, were oil pans sold like this for Tigers?
