I recently added electric fans from a windstar that I got from the auto recycler for around $40.00...I had a mechanical fan up until then. No issues just sounds better without the mechanical fan noise. And warms up quicker. Truck runs and drive great.
Did you happen to have any issues with the cross member? Did you use the clamshell engine mounts? I got my engine in today and with it slide all the way forward, I barely had a finger width clearance between the firewall and back of the engine. Something seems very off. I called DD and they said to send pictures, but I haven't got anything back in response yet to help. Just curious if you had any issues. Everything was put together exactly as they explain in the installation instructions... D on driver side with arrow pointing toward radiator, P on passenger with arrow pointing toward radiator.

I flipped sides and it seemed to be better but then also looked like the alternator might be too high to clear the hood?

I thought this stuff was supposed to just fit right in!!??!!?? Thanks for any help...
