To answer an earlier question regarding adjustable thermostats, most of the autoparts stores carry them, cheaper than BG. I have one on the widebody. Be sure to add a relay in the circuit for reliable operation. I have an Autometer temp gauge and have the thermostat set to come on at 180*.

When adding an electric fan, from whatever vehicle or even a new one, it's a good time to also add in the FC underhood fuse block to simplify and clean up the wiring. This allows one to get rid of the fusible links and have a couple extra circuits for any additional electrical items one may wish to add.
