    electric radiator fan conversion completed

    I removed the stock fan completely. I would not use the mechanical fan clutch setup as it is old school and not as reliable as the new fluid style fan clutch and the water pumps are different. I am also tired of the fluid style because they seem to wear out yearly and you just keep replacing...
