I think I am going to go with the controller at http://www.dccontrol.com/
it's the fk-35 at $109. The install looks like it's going to save huge
amounts of wor and part running. I do like the setup of the Vper fan plus
Viper fan sounds cooler...LOL. He did a great job on the relay circuits!
I got the Mark VIII fan off ebay for about $100. I can let you know who I
got mine from if you want. I guess the used a similar fan in some other
cars besides the Mark VIII. I'm going to order it this week and start
making some mounting brackets out of aluminum. I think I can get them to
mount in the holes from the factory shroud. Any pics of your installs of
the Ford fan would be great! Thanks to all for the info and advice!
