      Low tech but it works:

      - Clamped some thermostarts to the radiator (near return (cold)) hose.
      (Like this but 80 degC model) http://www.jaycar.com.au/productView...Max=&SUBCATID=
      - Used those to drive two standard 12V relays .. connected to the fans.

      Too easy.

        They have dual electric fans, same dimensions as the radiators in box Vics.

        I checked the measurements too... 28 wide, 18 tall, 5 deep.

        Yea, it's a Chevy part... but it should work, lol. Planning on getting one myself here soon.

        ooohhhh, new information! Must seek one out if I cannot score a Mark VIII fan.

              They say about 10-15. id say about 5 when the mechanical fan would be engaged, but when it is not engaged wont be any difference. Although it is harder to stick your hands in an electric fan :coughThaincough:

                  1-2mpg, its a minimal gain but it all helps.

                    well, I can without a doubt say my clutch is good though. I have the scars and hospital bill to prove it lol.

                        It's a decent improvement in MPG. Also, in the winter the car warms up MUCH quicker. Which is great for up north. also makes the car noticably quieter, at least when the fan isn't running.

                          Plus it is alot easier to change the serpentine belt since you dont have to get it inside the fan shroud and then around the fan.
