I forgot to say; the car is a 1969 camaro!

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.

so did you buy it?

yes, thanks for the suggestions guys.

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.

Cool. Please post pics and thoughts when you get it in there.

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!

Looks very nice! Thanks for posting pics. That is a bulky looking piece.
