I searched to my hearts content without result. Does anyone know the CFM of the stock cooling fan?

I have a really noisy motor in my 91.

The 95- Ford Taurus cooling fan pulls 2500 CFM on low, and 4500 on high.

It fits the stock radiator pretty nicely, but needs some work to boltup.

It is cheap and readily available.

Does anyone know the CFM of the stock fan?

I'm sure it will too, it would just be nice to know if the CFM advantage makes this worth pursuing as an upgrade.
