It's also an 18" fan vs a 17" fan too.. The fan's too big and so is the shroud, for my application. I was cosidering the Lincoln setup untill I had a chance to take some measurements. I hear it puts out around 5,000 CFMs or so..

I finished the conversion yesterday and took a 100 mile jaunt today with it. All systems seem go. No overheating (Well.. it's 68 deg today). I fear I won't be able to put any heat on it till next season. What I'm seeing is good thus far though. The Hollister Taurus fan relay setup works great, The 180 sensor's in the manifold and the 195 sensor's in the bottom of the expansion tank.

I silver brazed a 3/8" FPT brass fitting in the bottom of the expansion tank for the 195 sensor.

Ive done the inlet shrouding. I just need to clean up some rough fabrication and polish everything.

As far as I'm concerned everything was a success.

Outstanding work Dave. Nice mod on the expansion tank too.
