All 2011-2014 Mustang GT owners can easily upgrade their stock factory cooling fan, by replacing it with a Ford Racing Performance SVT Cooling Fan. The Ford Racing cooling fan is a stock cooling fan used on the 2013 and 2014 662 horsepower Mustang Shelby GT500. The Ford Racing SVT cooling fan is a direct replacement for your stock 2011-2014 Mustang GT cooling fan. It will help your Mustang GT keep it’s cool under pressure due to added cooling capacity.
The Ford Racing SVT cooling fan flows more air, has a higher cfm air flow versus the stock Mustang GT cooling fan. It is also a bit quieter and is a better balanced unit than the stock Mustang GT cooling fan assembly.
Ford Racing SVT Cooling Fan

To install a Ford Racing SVT Performance Cooling Fan is not that difficult and only requires basic tools for the job. Install time will vary, but usually takes most people about 1-2 hours. You will have increased radiator cooling and will also help cool your automatic transmission oil cooler better than your stock set up.
We installed the Ford Racing Cooling Fan Assembly on our 2012 Mustang GT, here is the basic install guide to help you along.
- Disconnect battery negative terminal
- Remove front strut tower brace that goes across your engine to each of your strut mounting bolts (if you have this brace on your Mustang).
- Remove plastic top of engine cover by lifting up on front and rear of cover.
- Remove the large plastic cover on top front of radiator area. To remove this cover, you must remove the special fasteners by lifting up on the middle area of the fastener with a small flat head screwdriver, then pull the fastener out.
- Remove your factory or aftermarket cold air box (air cleaner assembly) and ducting from the throttle body to the drivers side radiator area. You will have to also remove the mass air flow connector by gently pulling out the red clip then pull connector apart to remove.
- Remove your radiator plastic coolant reservoir tank located on top of radiator area passenger side. You will have to remove 2 bolts and the end of the long hose attached to the drivers side of the radiator, (coolant will come out be ready) so you can move the tank over to the engine and set it down out of the way.
- Now disconnect your stock cooling fan. The electrical connector is located on the passenger side of the radiator. To remove push in the tab and pull connector apart.
- Next, remove the 3 cooling fan mounting bolts that hold your stock cooling fan assembly in place. There is one bolt to remove on the drivers side top area and two bolts to remove on the passengers side area, one high and one lower down. After the bolts have been removed, just pull fan assembly straight up and out. You may have to wiggle it around to come out, but just pull straight up as fan assembly at the bottom is in slots on each side to hold it in place.
- Now install your new Ford Racing cooling fan and remember you will only be using the two top bolts to mount the fan in place. Make sure the bottom area of fan is in the slots to hold it in place first before bolting it in. Put all back together, start vehicle and let it warm up. The new cooling fan should kick in when temperature gauge reaches about half way and keep it there or a little less. Your Done!
