Depends on your mechanical skills.

Basically your pulling off the clutch fan, mounting the electrics, and then wiring them in. How long will that take you?

Altough before you buy that set-up, do a websearch for Taurus fans.

3.8L Taurus single dual speed fan or 3.8L GM dual fans are a good bet if you want to save money. I could bet i could do two trucks for that $300+ dollars...and have change left over.

Taurus fans are inexpensive, even the GM 3.8L dual fans can be had for less than $50 at your local wrecking/auto salvage yard. The GM 3.8L fans are identical in function as the LS1/LT1 fans from Camaros, if not the same fans...a buddy of mine got both sets from ebay and we can't tell which is which in CFM and looks. But the LT1 fans have small rectangles where flaps are for highspeed pass through...

Hey, thats great info.

I am kind of a purist at heart. In that I like to install GM parts into my GM vehicles. Anytime I can use a GM version over a Ford version I am all for it. You got any more info on those GM 3.8L fans? Donor vehicles? Specific years? That type of stuff?

Sweet.
That's awesome info.
Are they two speeds fans as well?
What's a typical wiring schematic for them?
