Ford Windstar dual fan unit. Simple sheet metal brackets made to attach. Cavalier "starter recall" relay to feed it, using a temp switch out of a FWD 2.8L GM something threaded into the passenger side head using a pipe reducer.

Easy.

The Ford Windstar fan unit does not fit a 454 truck. that one fan that sticks out hits power steering and if you flip it, that one motor hits the alternator.
