Are there other bolt on / direct replacement fans for the 82FA.

A variable or 2 speed fan would be nice. It would be no problem for me to set the fan speed while the autoswitch just turned it on/off.

Anyone?

Just curious why you would want to replace it. Is it blowing too hard or not enough?
Does it just run continuous or thermostat controlled?

It turns on/off automatically by temperature in the furnance.

My main goal is to get a stronger blower for when I want max heat, but still have a fairly quite blower for mid heat needed times.
