Dodge Stratus fans fit nicely and move a lot of air. You just need custom brackets, easy to make up.

Buy yourself SPAL-Fans :D measure the space you got on your radiator and buy the largest one's you can fit. i run them on my lemans and they cool faster as any other electric fan I had previously. once they start, their air-displacement creates a real hurricane.

x3 on the intrepid/ stratus fans pulls a bunch of air in just low speed vs high speed ... be prepared to upgrade your charging system if it is stock. :wink: i am using my ls1 ecm to control them though, bought my fans from the salvage yard quite a few years ago and still going strong not bad for 30 bucks! used a Cutlass radiator hold down plate and fabbed a bracket to support the bottom. If you decide to go that route i have a couple cutty radiator hold down plates... 8)

Keep in mind the Dodge wiring for the fans is in series-unlike any junk aftermarket fan hut far more reliable. You will need to chassis ground both black leads, then there is usually a green and a yellow lead-powering either one alone gives you low speed, powering the 2nd one gives you high speed. Keep this in mind when building a relay kit for them. On my relay kits I use a 40A weatherproof fuse holder because I have seen on occasion 25-28 amp draws on high speed. I would run the relay power from a remote 12V junction instead of the battery because its easier for the alternator to see a drop in voltage in the system instead of the battery.

I just put the duel intrepid fan in my GP. I removed it myself at the yard and cut the wiring past the connector so I had one black wire to ground both fans. I only have one thermal switch so I wired both for high speed and i'm leaving it that way till I take it out this winter. I find the intrepid fans way too heavy. I have a relay and use a 30 amp fuse.

This is the wiring if you do want to wire it for 2 speed.

Black= ground
Green= low
Green and yellow= high

good tip! I also wired them with my ls1 stock fuse boxes and had the ecm control them. Once I had it tuned they they both turn on at low speed at around 180, and if running hotter then that the high speed kicks on! I've recently had a bearing squeak on one fan motor since last year but considering that it runs constantly and it they only cost me 30 or so bucks I can't complain! I think they even sell the motors separately...
