I don't know of the existence of a conversion kit but I did come
across this post on a mopar forum today. What caught my eye
was that this mod would include a shroud. The mod was done
on a 97 5.2L Dak.
The person used a stock electric fan/shroud from a 96 Mercury
Cougar and a thermostat/relay kit from AutoZone. Apparently,
the fan shroud fits perfectly between the radiator tanks and only
about 1/2" had to be trimmed off the depth of the shroud for
clearance to the front of the engine. This left about 1/2" clearance
from the fan to the radiator.
The mod was just done so no info. on how it would be in 100+
temperatures. Pluses were: quietness (no more roar when cold),
smoothness in acceleration and idle, more power, better a/c
performance (runs cooler idling with a/c on than it did before).
Something to ponder :-)

BTW, costs were fan/shroud off e-bay for $61 and a thermostat/relay
kit from AutoZone for $35.
