I know the Derale fans were made in the USA and actually moved the air they were supposed to. I have used their relays with much less success, wires not crimped properly and fall out. Honestly buy a used set of Dodge Stratus dual fans and a good dual relay and temperature switch set up. With fabricated brackets, it fits the rad nearly perfect for a G body, move a lot of air and are cheaper new too.

How do you mount the Intrepid fans since the mounting tabs are on the sides?

I am running dual 300M fans in my car. In my case, the bottom of the fan shroud "tucks in" snugly between the radiator core and the lower support. I simply attached two angle brackets at the top to bolt the shroud to the Cutlass upper mounting plate. These brackets only need to hold the shroud against the core; they are not supporting its weight at all and thus they aren't going to stress the shroud. If you look closely, you'll see I also did my usual trick of slicing some rubber vacuum tubing and slipping it over the edge of the shroud to ensure it doesn't harm the radiator core (and to provide improved air sealing).

Excellent thank you. There are a lot of different manufactures at different prices. Some as high as $1000 for radiatorand fans.

Looks good. Love the silicone buffer. Great idea. Looks like you have plenty of room with the 454 in it.
