    Nah, I got a housing from NAPA with the port in it. I can dig up the part# for it tomorrow but I think it's for a Bronco. It is cast iron but also 1/3 the price of the FMS one.

    Me, you can view in my images. I now have dual 12" fans vs the single 16". Gave me a little more clearance and coverage on the radiator.

    Sweet, thanks!! I've experimented with the sn-95 and mark viii fans, but none of them worked good. I will give the Ramcharger a try next :)

    blownby, how wide is your radiator, or thick in inches? I barely have clearance right now with the stock vortech pulley, I have a 4 core aluminum radiator, not sure which brand is on the car for the electric fan, was on the car when I bought it? I have an 8" crank pulley, but dont see how it will fit, maybe my fan/radiator is too thick, would appreciate it when you have time to measure the thickness of your radiator, want to see what I can do to get that bad boy on there :o)

    i use a 94/95 electric fan, wired it up to a switch from a relay(def need a 150+amp alt for it). i have a 7" crank pulley and it is pretty close with the rondavis radiator. it keeps it real cool!!!!!

    Zirgo 12 s-curve (zf12s) blade. Most fans are all 3.25" thick and under. The 12's are like 2.5".

    I will check the thickness. My fans are only 2.5" thick. I had a 3.25" thick fan and that fit. Also my radiator is flush against the upper support. The wires that were orriginally behind were moved to the front of the core support. Hope that makes sense. You should be able to see the flushness of the radiator in a picture. (??) I have room now and I have the strut support on there. I will measure and let you know for sure.

    Do you need a relay and temperature controller for the ramcharger or does it come with them?

    I'm using the Proform Mustang fan (like the black magic). Decent fan I guess but the theremostat doesn't work very well. It just has the bulb sensor that smushes up to the radiator.

    Think I'd be able to use a hayden or some other thermostat fan kit on it? I'd like to do away with that bulb and use a real sensor that sees coolant. If so, is there a spot to thread a sensor into?

    I just installed the Ramchargers dual fan setup in my car with the Summit Mustang radiator. It clears my S-Trim crank pulley w/ a bit to spare (no modifications to radiator mounting support).

    I used the painless wiring kit to wire it all up and it was a peice of cake. I also wired in a bypass switch just in case the thremostat takes a crap (call me paranoid).

    Can't comment on cooling as I just got it all wired up last night :teeth:
