I did a Grand cherokee fan in the stock shroud.

Optional fans: Taurus, Mark VIII, Jeep, or LS1 dual fans. A Mark VIII dual speed fan is hard to beat. You can use low speed for the A/C. High speed for temperature probe.

go scrounge though a local junkyard.. Lots of electric fans in cars these days, for dirt cheap too.. If I knew that when i did this swap the first time there's no way i woulda put down the cash for new aftermarket fans.

I've head great things about the ford taurus fans.. they are dual speed pull close to 3000cfm, which is great for almost any sbc... es especially one with a aluminum rad.

I've just got done putting hyundia fans on mine, though depends on the specific measurement of your rad you might not be able to get 2 on there, mine has a 26" core, IIRC, and i could fit two one.. any smaller you'll have to cut some shroud away..

Hi Guys
I dont mean to hijack Aaron what all do you need to get the electric fan
Up and running if I get one from a junk yard? Is there certain years that
Will work on a stock 82 radiator?

Thanks guys

Do you plan to run A/C?
Read this on the Mark VIII. http://www.fordmuscle.com/archives/2...cfan/index.php

I run dual LS1 fans. I'm going to upgrade to a dual speed for my A/C.

Any fan will require slight modifications to fit.

make sure you update you charging system or you will have a huge drain on your system valtage and amp.
