Read the whole Ad -- can't see anything wrong with that. Remember that you're going to have to run DUAL relays - one for each fan.

I bought that setup with wiring harness (relays included) from them a few years ago and it works perfectly. Built well, never had an issue.

I just bought a Mark VIII fan cheap and in good condition off craigslist and will be installing it in my 68. I already have a Griffin radiator but a dinky electric fan that came with the car is not doing the job at low speeds.

That ebay setup does look pretty nice in the pics.

i did buy it; i removed the stock radiator today; and should be able to install the new one in a couple of days when it arrives.

hey, since flash68 requested some pictures here you go.

this new setup cools great; no overheating issues at all. its a huge aluminum radiator. it looks good too!
it used the factory holes; although i did have to redrill the bottom driver side hole (i think maybe because my radiator support is a repro).

i also had to buy a "swivel" radiator neck, because the temparature sensor was in the way of stock water neck. I used a 72' camaro big block hose and it seemed to fit fine!
