My 1985 Capri 5.0L 5-speed is completely original and unmodified. The radiator fan is plastic and has the usual cracks at the base of the blades. My son has an '85 Mustang GT 5-speed and the fan in his car is steel. The part number begins with "E5". Can someone please tell me if the steel unit is an original part for certain '85-86 5.0L engines? I drive the car quite a bit and I don't want the plastic one to come apart but I am also an originality nut and want to keep the car as original as possible. Also - someone told me some early built 1985 cars had non-roller cam engines with steel fans and later cars had the roller cam engines with plastic fans. My VIN comes up as a later built "Capri 5.0 liter" , a 1985 1/2 if you will, which makes sense because the body side moldings in front of the rear wheels do not have the "RS" callouts. Any information would be appreciated. Thank you.
