I have Intrepid fans on both my Monte and Regal. View attachment 229626 View attachment 229627 .

What year intrepid are the ones to get? How wide are they?

I believe it is 1998 -2004 but this is the one I bought for the Regal.

looking at this kit , looks like the temp switch will be wired to the relay.

would i have to tap factory cable too so i can see the temp in dash?

If you already have a functional temp gauge, then you need to find a spot to install the temp switch for the fans as it is completely separate and turns the fans on/off based on temperature. You can install it in a threaded water port on the heads or intake manifold. Keep in mind there will be a difference in temp between the different locations.

I have mine mounted in the intake manifold next to the thermostat. I can see the movement in the thermostat when it opens and closes on my gauge.

here’s my set up ,
i have a thermostat sensor next to it

i forgot what the green one is

maybe can get rid of temp sensor ? not sure how crucial it is. isn’t it just to prevent the car from starting if overheated? my car has the computer

I’m not sure about a thermostat sensor. Mine is all old school stuff. My temp sensor came with my electric fan wiring kit.

I may need to look into the Intrepid fans and perhaps a 4 core radiator. My fans only pull 3500 cfm's for the pair. The 383 gets a little warm out here in AZ at an idle. I'm not diggin' that.

OEM > aftermarket.

Get an adjustable temperature controller with a probe into the coolant. The OFF temperature must be set higher than the thermostat temperature.

i have a 180 thermostat , are u saying to get a probe that turns off at 185? if im reading this correctly

I wouldn't "get rid" of anything if your car has a computer and everything is working. Your heads should have provisions if none in the intake front or rear. Is that a 307?
