I didn't get a picture of the fan fully installed. But it came out very nicely. I painted the horizontal brackets gloss black and riveted them to the radiator. The fan sits about 5/8 from the radiator core(and it's centered). I'm very pleased with the install. Drivetrain wise all I am waiting for to tune this think up and drive it is the exhaust. Im helping my grandma move this weekend. But next weekend I am borrowing a buddy's welder and doing it up. Once its running I'll be able to tell if this fan is going to get the job done. As much as I would rather have a mechanical fan there is a piece of the is happy that its not there. Ive seen some blades come loose on jeeps and reek havoc on hoods and fenders. I don't want to think what a fan blade would do to a person.

The 216 fans (that's what the old on is) are notorious for stress-cracking and flying apart, with parts even going through the hood. You need a better fan, electric or not. I still think this is the best way to to. If it doesn't work the way you expect, you can still move the radiator forward and install a flex fan.
