Cool, then I am 99.9% certain my information is correct. Unless there is something strange or unique that I don't know about. If there is anything else please let me know. BTW, I was able to install mine without removing the fan shroud, but make sure you wear gloves b/c the radiator will slice your knuckles open!

I had to cut the bottom of my fan housing to get mine to fit.

Yeah, i think i read that 18" may be pushing it as far as size goes and that a 17/17.5 might fit better....

Thanks for the input guys

It was easy to get it to fit. I just jacked the car up, and took a jig saw to it, and was done in about 20 mins. I don't remember how much I took off, but I remember it was in a corner. I would try to get the 17" one if you don't feel like doing more work, or have itchy arms from the fiberglass.
