Default 1996 Electric Rad Fan Conversion

I'm trying to find a straightforward budget friendly way to convert to an electric rad fan on my 1996 3.9 Dakota, non a/c, manual trans. Mostly trying to clear up room in the engine bay for future upgrades... also just looking for something to do over the winter. I'm in Canada so its not like it get crazy hot here anyways so I think electric only would be fine.

I've searched the forums but haven't found anything conclusive. Anyone have any experience with this? I don't mind doing some fab work, but I've never done a non kit electric fan swap before so just want to get pointed in the right direction. Thanks!

Ford Taurus fan from a V-6 car..... Thermal switch that comes on at around 200 or so, and off at 190. Or numbers close to those.

Any Years of Ford Taurus specifically? The 2013-19 one looks promising

That, I am not sure. I thought there was a thread about this sort of thing in the FAQ/DIY section??? (or, maybe that was in 2nd gen ram section......)
