Here it is fellas... just work off work and pulled these beauties out. The fans look and feel high quality (also heavier than I expected..) and the installation instructions are very clear and def comes with everything you need to do the job. I must say it so convenient to get the total total package tailored to fit our exact 2nd gen models. VERY NICE!
I am more excited than a crack-head going on drug run!
lol
Here are the pics, and will be installing tomorrow afternoon. To be updated...

As those fans do not have a shroud that covers the entire radiator, my advice would be to stagger them high/low, so that all the cooling channels in the radiator get some flow over them. If you center them both, the extreme upper and lower channels in the radiator will not be cooled (other than by ram air, which is only when you are moving.) that really hot coolant will mix with the other coolant and raise the overall temp of the coolant right at the end of the radiator where the trans oil heat exchanger is.

You put the original shroud on. It will help funnel the air.

I think I am going to mount the fan in the center of the rad and leave the stock shroud on I also have a 14 inch pusher fan that I am going to put on a switch in the cab. Just want to find out the best way to do it so I only have to do it once.

Are you planning on using the pusher and puller at the same time? If so, I wouldn't recommend that.

I was only going to turn on the pusher when I was using the A/C. Would it mess something up if both were on?

The puller is off a Lincoln town car that had a v8 in it but the fan is only 1 speed.
