Or, you can do what I did and cut it pretty close, then space it back out a little bit with some vacuum line split like a hot dog and slipped over the edge of the shroud.

You can also tilt the top of the rad. back a little as well. I rerouted my headlight harness so that it lays on top of the a/c condensor. Moving it allows the top of the rad. to get almost against the upper rad. support. That itself allows about a half inch of movement, if memory serves.

A 1/4" here, 1/2" there, it all adds up...

I'll see if I can get some pics posted up tonite. My blower pulley is almost 8" in diameter. The fan itself appears to be center as far as up/down placement goes. It 'might have 2" or so offset as far as side to side.

There is a slight difference top to bottom as well. Maybe 1/4" or so. You can also look into shifting your rad. to one side or the other, allowing the fan to go more to one side or the other.

Unfortunately, it's not a "drop in" procedure. Took me 2 weeks of test fitting various ways till I decided the way I wanted it to go. Another week to fab some brackets up/mod the lower rad. support.

To compound the problem, I have the FMS alum. rad. which is substantially thicker than the stocker, and is taller as well.

Yep 93Cobra#2771 is correct. I have a Taurus fan off a 95 and I have the FK35 controller. This is the best thing I did when it came to the cooling system.

Opps I forgot that I already posted this. LOL
