[QUOTE="fullboogie, post: 3243588, member: 23633"] Ok, I knew the GM flames might crop up, so I ground off all evidence of a GM part number! On the how to: 1) 2000-2004 corvette fan setup ($100) 2) MAD fan controller ($90) 3) extra 10, 12, and 16 gauge wire 4) Perma Cool part #105 mounting kit ($5) You will have to trim the bottom 1" off the fan shroud to make it fit. The shroud will actually "stand off" from the radiator about 1/2", so I also trimmed that 1/2" around the perimeter of the shroud and 1/2" off the center bar that runs vertically on the radiator-side of the shroud. All this will make it fit perfectly snug up against the radiator. Mount the MAD controller on the inner fender, passenger side, under the washer bottle and run all your wires per the wiring diagram. Trim the trailing edge of the factory radiator/hood latch cover, only the part that turns down toward the ground. You will also want to cut a notch to mount the intercooler tank. All this trimming sounds complicated, but it's not. When you drop the fans into the engine compartment, you will see what needs to be trimmed. It was done with a cutoff wheel, and is very very easy. The only "tricky part" was to make a new bracket to hold the intercooler tank. It normally bolts to the factory fan shroud. The new fans do not have a provision for this. I made an "L" bracket out of 1" strap aluminum, drilled two holes, and mounted it that way. It's a really easy install. If anybody has questions, shoot me a PM. [/QUOTE]
