I ve heard something about using fans out of a ford windstar not sure the reason why it such a popular swap.
Put new fans in the chevelle out of a 2001 ford windstar.

The search was on for a better alternative to a mechanical fan.
Also looking for advice or reference material on how to hook up a thermal switch so it kicks on when it needs to.
