I just bought this (can return it) to see if it will fit. There is no Taurus fan nearby so I went with this. It will cover the entire rad and the fans seem to pull pretty good.

Anyone out there retro fit something like this?

Let me know if this works, are you wondering if it physically fits? Or if iot will keep the car cool? I plan on using a 94-95 electric fan wired "on" all the time if I cannot find a better setup.

Well, I made a diagram for the Tuarus setup, but I dont see why it wouldnt work for a nissan? Check out the link in my Sig for the install.

I doubt very seriously if the fans for a 120 cubic inch 4 cylinder are gonna provide ample air movement for your 5.0L. I'd return them and get something you know will move enough air. 3000 cfm minimum to be safe.

Saleen - wiring it on all the time defeats a big advantage of the electric - no current draw when it's off. And it doesn't need to be on at all when you're at cruising speed (30+ mph). Far and away the best way to control electric fans is the Delta Current controller. www.dccontrol.com It makes relays and switches seem ancient. HIGHLY recommended. Love mine.

Honestly, the fans should be sufficiant. Ive heard that Sunbird fans work great too! Just my $.02

I took twin Olds Ciera (V-6) fans off of mine that were a part of the original conversion. They didn't come close to moving enough air to handle the 5.0L with a/c in the southeast summers. I installed a fully shrouded dual 11" SPAL set up that moves about 2900 cfm of air and it works wonderfully.

Cooling is no place to take a chance or a shortcut as the consequences of a bad choice are often pretty big problems. As I said before, I can't imagine why anyone would think fans designed to cool a small 4 cylinder would be sufficient to meet the cooling needs of a V-8, but if you want to give it a try, go for it. It helps that you're up north and have lower average ambient temps to deal with. Do you have a/c? If not, that helps too of course.
