Electric fan conversion

[loudvolvo]

So i'm contemplating gettin rid of the mechanical fan and replacing it with a electric fan out of a mid 90's taurus. My one question is where do i find a hold down for the radiator? Currently the big *ss fan shroud holds the top of the radiator. What have those who have done this conversion done to solve this problem?

could just cut the shroud off the one you have.

otherwise probably make your own

Try to find an upper rad support from either a turbo Buick, or a Cutlass with the 307 engine. On these cars, either the shroud is a separate piece, or there is an electric fan bolted to the upper rad support. I believe that there are other threads on this subject both on this forum, and on MonteCarloSS.com. Good luck.

307 Cutlass/Regal is the easiest source...

They look like this...

Here's one for sale...
