Like the title says, I can get this for cheap, looking for opinions.
If you do have one how are you mounting it?

Do a search - it's one of the most commonly retrofitted E-fans out there. You will find internet articles with pictures regarding how to do the retrofit and mount it up.

The biggest issue for most is having enough room for the shroud's depth.

Good luck.

They can be trimmed down quite a bit and mounting tabs riveted top and bottom to install. You may also need to move your radiator closer to the support for clearance. A 3g and a DCController are necessary in my opinion. Thats how mine was done and it works flawlessly.

Exactly what I did with one difference - I just took a cutoff whell and cut slots in the bottom of the trimmed shroud to use the stock clips on the bottom.
