check the FAQ section there is a DIY on the efan.
Mine's a bit different but it's the same for the install. I did the same thing as the DIY says, used a fan out of a Ford Taurus (I used a 2 wire fan, most use a 3 wire fan)
I used a NAPA temp control kit and ran it to control a solenoid (an 80 amp relay works too) to power the fan. If you use a 3 wire fan you'll only need the low speed side and a 40 amp relay works fine

You can also check in the 2nd Gen section, since your engine is rare in 3rd Gens, but prolific in the 2nd Gens. I know a bunch of guys with 2nd Gens have done this mod. PM JasonW, I know he's done it...

its all the same as the other motors essentially. I just went to NAPA and asked for a temp control module for an e-fan, the whole kit had a temp probe, module, and some wiring. Cost about $35. When you're driving around take note of where your needle is sitting, adjust the temp control to come on when it's just a little bit higher. The temp probe goes through the radiator fins.
