Yet another Intrepid Fan Question.

[MrSony]

So, I was tossing around the idea of putting electric fans in my '85 Regal that will be powered by a Buick 350 in a few months. TH350 trans, 2xx rear until I can find a 68-72 abody 12 bolt or a 7.5 posi with 3xx for the right price. Anyway, I've heard good things about the 98-02 dodge intrepid fans being a good fit. And I vaugely remember a blerb about Gbodyparts.com having a plugn play wiring harness to put these fans in our cars. Is that true? I couldn't find anything. Anyone know 100% of the things I need besides the obvious fans and radiator? I want the fans to work normally. Low, high, come on as needed. Oh, for radiator I plan on just getting one from my local autoparts stores for a V8 gbody. Unless I can find a direct fit aluminum 3 core for under 250$. Any help is appreciated.

I believe 565bbchevy has the intrepid fan. He could probably help. I'm sure others will chime in.

I have the interpret fan but I have it wired to have both fans on wired with a relay and a 30 amp fuse. You can have two switches to have one fan come on sooner if you want. I have an aluminum rad and it was easy to mount the fans.

You may also want to procure an Olds/Pontiac radiator top plate to facilitate the electric fan install.
As far as a radiator, you can check into an aluminum F-body unit.

I should have mention the aluminum rad I have has no transmission cooler which I don't need with a stick

the plug and play is real but it is only for vehicles like the Grand National that had an electric fan

So, in theory I'd be able to adapt that little plug to my Buick 350? I like the idea of having plugs at least on the fan end so I can pop it in and out as I please without unhooking or cutting wires.

You could probably find the factory end of the harness at a junkyard and then adapt it.
I set mine up with 2 separate rocker switches, one for each speed and each has it's own relay which I believe are a whopping 70 amp version.

I have one 30 amp fuse with one relay to run both fans and the 30 amp fuse does get warm but it doesn't blow. But I like 565bbchevy's idea so I'll keep one on the heat switch one set up the other on a toggle switch with a 30 amp fuse and relay for each
