Yep.
Ebay Flexalite fans

I have used them already.. They SUCK a TON. Very quite. I made my own controller. I dont like those controllers that you shove through the radiator. I bought a single pole 195 switch, installed that into the intake manifold with a relay and it works perfect and doesnt have that crappy setup.

Called today about the Ron Davis unit, it's sweet looking but @ $1015.87 not in my budget.

Look in Summit Racing at the "Be Cool" fan line. The Spal dual 11" fans are sold there under the Be-Cool name. These fans are very good and easy to install, since they come with their own shrouds. I have a set in my 84 GMC and also a set in my daily driver 91 Silverado. I used "Mill Strap aluminum" from the local hardware outlet to make the brackets and bolted the fans right up close to the radiator fins. These fans move around 2850 SCFM and are good enough to work with one fan running as needed and the second as a back-up on hot days or hauling heavy loads. The price for a set is not too bad either.

I got my jeep fan from my local Chrysler dealer for $42 through my friends used car dealership account. I like the clean look of the stock fan shroud. It is amazing how perfectly they fit together and how easy the install is. It defiantly cools the engine well. We put one on my friends big block truck and it cools just fine.

I used the Classic Heartbeat fan/shroud that Wes mentioned earlier. With the quality of the shroud and fans and the customer service I don't think you could beat it. I installed it with a ZZ4 And it will hold the temp wherever I set the thermostat. (all included in a complete kit). Top notch and the cleanest looking set up out there!!
