Electric Fans
I finally finished my fan setup over Thanksgiving work shutdown along with a host of other motor work. I really like how it works and frees up engine room plus how it gave me more power/snap to the engine, very quiet now until a fan comes on. A lot of wires to deal with so I took my time and hardwired and encased them all and tried to route carefully so it would not look like a bunch of spaghetti. I bought the shroud and controller from TCP for $320 and the fans from FFDynamics for $220 shipped so not real cheap but worth it IMHO. I have a bunch of pics but have not learned how to master photobucket yet so here are a couple fingernails.
THANKS to Laramie for the tips on the install.

Nicely done. We are brothers.
I did do the full TCP kit and have been meaning to provide a review b/c there was a problem with their kit from earlier this year. The took care of me provided updated shroud, retrofitting mine, and new controller and sensor.
What I don't like is how clean you ended up doing your wiring.
I need to still tidy up some wiring.
Care to elaborate on your incorporation of the digital meter? Also are you hooked into the A/C?

yes, look nice, everybody knows you convert the fan. but you paid too much money just for fan. i did my job with two 12 inch electric fan from ebay for $40, and $34 for the fan control from autozone, they fit nicely inside the original fan shroud , and cycles smooth. no one know i convert to electric if they don't look in to it.

they look good but i don't understand how you can spend $540 on them. you will never get your money back out of them. i know i got electric fans for my 81 and don't even think i will see the $40 i put into them back. some of the best gas mileage i have ever got was with the mechanical fan. haven't even come close to my best gas mileage numbers since i installed the electric fans.
