Are you going with an e-fan? the stock clutch fan may pose a problem.

I'm going to be putting in a flexalite bm 150, it 16x18 with a 15" blade. I'm planning on wiring it through a toggle switch with direct power, all I got to do is keep my eye on the temp gauge. that is just a short term fix, better plans down the road

flexalite and summit both have a external thermostat which has variable temp ranges to kick the fan on. all you do is give the thermo power and plug it into the fan and your done, I believe.
