Default electric fan choice

Hi, I am hoping to be removing my engine driven fan/shroud and go with an electric fan. It will be in front of an extremely mild motor (250-300hp). Whats the budget choice for me? I don't want to spend over $200 on a fan and I'd prefer to go with an aftermarket one than with a Camaro junkyard pull, etc.
thanks!

You got it. Junkyard late model camaro/firebird is an excellent choice. Cheap and strong.

I run a very mild 350. I went with a used single 16" electric fan along with a Painless Wiring harness. I used aluminum strips from Home Depot to make a mount as close to the radiator as I could get it. Never, ever had the temp over 185 degrees sincel with a pos oem radiator. That includes driving around in traffic in NC dead of summer. I think my entire cost for fan, mount and wiring harness was around $110.00. A new 16" fan from Summit would run you around $70-$100 depending on brand.
