Want to put dual fans in car, read that these fit. Anyone try them? If so did you need to rig up additional wiring and relays? You can get a "Buick" set up for $269 but you can get Intrepid fans from Rock auto for $99.

You will need to get this harness from caspers electronics for the dual fans.

I also bought this to put around the edges to seal the fan up against the radiator.

I have two spal fans.  I just wired them into the existing factory wiring.  One fan went to the low speed circuit and the other fan connected to the one that came on when the AC came on or the temperature got hot.  Been working that way for about 25 years now.

The Dodge fans were very popular 20 years or so ago.  they generally worked pretty well.

Somebody had bought a cheapo aluminum Rad and dual fans combo form Amazon for an industrial installation despite my protests.
The fans died within a month but the "ricers" replaced them with Mishimoto fans, now those have turned out to be quite reliable FWIW.
