I love this setup:
After taking the old fan and spacer off there is plenty of room for a fan. Notice the foam between radiator and fan shroud. I also love that the fan controller is mounted in the lower corner of the radiator. It's a mistake to put it high, in case the water level in your radiator drops.
The fan cools the radiator. Engine temp has nothing to do with the fan. In Michigan winters, my cooling fan goes months without turning on. - DaveMember, Sons of the American Revolution

Hayden controller hookup ?
I used the Hayden one for dual fans, #3654. I think I paid just under $50 for it on Amazon.
Here's a link to my photos of ole "BigBird" as my kids call her...
For the fan mounts I used flat stock with a bolt welded to it through a hole I drilled. Smoothed the backside so it wouldn't damage the vanes.

That was an Accel distributor and coil in the photo. Engine is a 460. Since this photo was taken, I have changed to an MSD distributor and MSD coil.Comment

Summit also showed a March 2 groove pulley, but I only kept it in my wish list since I found one locally that did the trick.Comment
