You can buy a relay kit pretty cheap but it won't come with a thermostat probably. Advance has a few relay kits but your better off buying a kir that can handle high or just make one in my opinion.

A 2 fan set up, or 2 separate fans? How did you wire them up?

I have the taurus setup on my 304 and low keeps it cool almost all the time. If i do use high it only takes a minute to bring it back down. Both high and low are switched on my cj

My main concern is I'm not that good at creating an electrical system from scratch. I have no idea where to start wiring this thing up......:confused:

I purchased a electric fan relay kit from OREILYS a few years ago.The kit had everything you needed including the thermostat.The price was under 30.00 bucks.The taurus fan is a great choice.You should have no problem finding one at you-pull since there always at least twenty cars in the yard.

http://www.ado13.com/techs/relay.htm

is the relay wiring diagram for the high speed relay. I used a 75 amp relay from ebay.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/BOSCH-TYCO-R...-/290499370197

A on off on heavy duty switch and a 20 amp relay from a parts store for the low speed. Both are wired from a switched 12 volt source. The hot side of the relay came from a power block i had from my tbi wiring harness. Get one while you are at the pull and pay. They are on all of the 90's chevy trucks. It made it look alot cleaner when the wiring was finished. Plus gave me a few more hot spots for other stuff

Im not a great person with diagrams but there is only 4 wires to deal with per relay. I did have a buddy that helped and once we got started it wasn't bad to do

Hopefully heading to the wonderful upull tomorrow. AKA: wheelers paradise... So I'm looking for a dodge ram alternator and either a volvo or tuarus fan?..... Might possibly snag an astro steering box for the future front stretch too
