Went back to the junkyard and pulled an electric fan and shroud assembly from a 95 Volvo wagon along with the relay pack and wiring. With minimal effort and trimming, it fit my Ron Davis radiator pretty well leaving about 1/2" clearance from the Explorer water pump hub. The Volvo fan relay pack will control both the low and high speeds via a 2 speed temperature sender I plan to mount in the thermostat housing; just need to narrow down what temperature range I want in the switch. Currently looking at a BMW dual temperature switch (195deg low speed and 210deg high speed). Another day of testing will help me make the final determination. More to come...
I am pretty excited to have a nice big electric fan for the trails and finally say farewell to that awful mechanical fan.
Sadly, I didn't take any pictures. Perhaps tomorrow.
Thanks for the help Chuck. That body saw was perfect for cutting the shroud.
