i like the mounts you made on the fan. i have been having the same thoughts when i go to do mine. where did you mount the temp switch? i was going to drill/tap into the t-stat housing. one concern i'd have with that is the no fan shroud.

So, i bought an 01 Kia Sportage. before i even drove it, i nick-named it The Goat.. it has been just like a goat.. stubbern at every corner...
