Looks like they have it covered then as it sounds like a complete system.

I have been contemplating e-fans for a long time but... still not sure. Today
in Memphis the heat index was around 112. On my 30mi trip home, I stopped at a
store some 25mi into it. When I came back out - the coolant temp was at 210 and
the tranny temp was 187. Thats a little to close to be playing w/the system
considering stories like yours. I'll wait for one of the fan vendors to make a
dual 16-in setup w/built in shroud or something like that before I dive in just
yet.

Thanks for all the info. Sounds like a nice setup for the V6 guys.
