Default Fan for my Rad?

Hi all, ive fitted a volvo 740 rad and intercooler but have had to remove the standard fan to make room for my rad hose, now obvoiusly i need one or a couple of fans, so what fans should i be looking for and how much should i be looking to pay for them.

Cheers
Ry

i normally get mine from pacet, ur rad i think had a 17" fan on it beforehand, however it will poke half an inch beyond the top and bottom, like the cowling that comes with it

a 16" fan should secure nicely to the heater matrix
