I used a JEGS Adjustable Temperature Control Switch
JEGS Performance Products 52125 JEGS Adjustable Temperature Control Switch
and a 40 amp relay. The Contour fan covers 90% of the stock radiator. It's the same width but not quite as tall. I made some brackets that bolted on the bottom of the fans that slid into the stock shroud tabs.

If going through the effort, you will probably want to use a higher output offering.

You'll need a power cable upgrade no matter what. Slight bracket clearancing is about the only other mod you might need.
