Well, you need to mount it as a pusher so hopefully you have the room-you will need to fab your own brackets for it-you don't want to use zip ties-the vibration over time could potentially rub holes in your radiator cooling tubes and tear up your fins. Be aware that your fan will draw some juice so be prepared to install a relay if that's your triggering method or you can opt for a variable speed controller. I have both those and HD 70 amp relays so I can help you go in either direction. If you need, I can draw upa diagram for you,too. -Jabin

Mount it as a pusher? I thought i could mount it as a puller in front of the radaitor by the water pump, or is that what you mean as a pusher? Im going to wire it up to a relay and to a switch and only use low speed for now because i have to upgrade my alternator before i can use the high speed. Thanks

I have one on my 72 Nova go to my car domain page and use my wire schematic. Mounting is easy. I made 2 90* brackets that let me use the stock bottom mount then added to the top to bolt to the top mount. very easy. ..
