Fan Conversion Question

How can I convert my mechanical fan into an electrical fan? Also what fan and fan assembly and accessory parts should I buy?

Thanks for any help!

A Lincoln Mark VIII fan, a SPAL pulse width-modulated (PWM) controller (plus terminals, wire, and connectors).
Total cost should not exceed $200.

You're welcome.

Let me add... The Mark VIII fan is a current hog. I recommend doing the 130-amp 3G alternator retrofit first or at the same time as the fan conversion.
