Default Dual 12" Flex a lite Electric Fans

Due to my recent COSTLY move to California, I am guaging interest on my electric fan conversion. I have the fans themselves, the temp. probe, the temp. control, and a/c relay. Some of these are extra parts not included with the fans. Everything is pre-wired by me so it would be an easy swap for you. If you're in Socal, save shipping and I will even help you swap them over (I prefer this b/c I need a fan shroud and the bolts to go with it). This mod will give you an honest 6-10 rwhp (some ppl say 15-20, but I think that's high)
Also, after running them for 1.5 years in 100+ degree heat in OK and in socal, I have had no probs whatsoever- these will keep the engine cool.
I'm asking $150 plus shipping or local pickup preferred

Thanks,
Tim

edit* you do not need an upgraded alternator for these. An upgraded battery (optima) would help, but is not necessary

where in CA are you? This is real tempting.
can they be wired to run constantly and are there any drawbacks to that?


also, my fan shroud is in tact

I'm in Oceanside. They can be set to run constantly if you'd like (in fact, they actually run constantly when the a/c is on anyway). It doesn't even need to be wired that way, the temp. control has a constant setting, so you would just turn the ****. The only drawback would be the extra current pull and I would probably recommend an upgraded battery if you ran them all the time.

I have an upgraded alternator so the extra current draw wont be too much of a problem. Let me line up some finances before i give final word but i am very interested.

just a few more questions before i give my 100%

where does the temp probe go? Is there any drilling necessary? How long do you think the install should take?

Thanks

Fans are sold. If for any reason the deal falls through, I will contact those interested in the order which they contacted me.


ps- temp probe slides inside the upper radiator hose, no drilling necessary, and couple hours on the install at most.
