Question-MK Viii fan???

Hey guys-

Quick question, Can 1997, 1998 Mk Viii fans have there electrical motor removed and replaced??? I know 1993-1996 can, Just wondering, because my fan took a crap on me friday, and the motor is $119 compared to a new 98 fan from rockauto @ $199. I would love to reuse my old shroud, its cut perfectly already..
Also what is the motorcraft part number for the electrcal connector? mine melted on friday with the motor...

Thanks Anthony

yes, they are riveted in but you can drill them out and use bolts to replace - the motors should be about $60-$70 and they are a Siemens motor.

Thanks Tmoss.... One more question for ya, Do you think the fan blades are high speed balanced or somehting like that or its a swap it in, plug and play? I was thinking about that. Hmmmmmmmmmm! Have you ever did one? how did it come out?

Thanks Anthony

P.S. Have you ever heard of anyone, utilizing a 10 gauge quick disconnecting fitting soldered on, instead of using that male harness which usuallly craps out on ya all the time. i would think solder would be better than anything? woudl ya think?
