My install was simple.
I didn't want to fasten the fan to the radiator core. (In my mind that is high risk for a radiator failure - but a lot of people have done it)
I made a frame out of 3/4" aluminum (90 degree bend) material. I bolted that to the exixting fan shroud mounts, with a layer of foam insulation between the aluminum the radiator. The fan bolts to the frame easily.
The wiring is real simple. Buy a thermostatic fan relay from Autozone for about $20 bucks. It is only a 4 wire hookup.
