Yup, I found out many years ago that the Moroso WP motor was a Ford heater fan motor, while changing the fan motor in my 74 F350. Looked at the old motor, and thought, Hmmmm... that looks familiar! So when I had a water pump motor go south on me , I got a new fan motor for a 74 Ford truck. The wires are even the same color! I have over the years used fan motors from a 57 Ford, 78 Fairmont, & the truck, they may be slightly different in some small visual way, but they all fit, & worked just fine. I suppose Ford never felt the need to redesign their fan motors very often! :
