HUH? they didn't come stock with either a turbo or an electric fan, you will have to fab up mounts for your intercooler but you can get them at summit racing or on ebay pretty cheap, i have used electric fans out of toureses (spelling is off but it's made by ford and is a peice of crap family car) they fit pretty well on almost any radiator and flow pretty well also

you can run both an electric (puller) fan and an intercooler on your truck if you put the intercooler infront of the radiator behind the grille and the fan on the engine side of your radiator

you could probably get something like this in there and use exhaust tubing welded together for piping but it really depends on how much boost you are making and how much air you are flowing

well the only reason you need an intercooler is if you have a turbo or a supercharger....there is no other reason to have one maybe your thinking of a radiator?

The Taurus e-fan is a common swap, as is the fan from a Mark VIII.

Try running an ADVANCED search for 'taurus fan' and you'll find a number of walkthroughs for installing and wiring.

do you have a fan shroud? what thermostat is in there now? an electric fan probably won't help cool the motor down
