Just came across this one. One of the forum members has it installed on their rig it appears. Don't know much about it, but seems legit.

Not as cost effective as the standard relay setup but if you like the advantages of PWM and can swallow the price, WWW.AUTOCOOLGUY.COM should be on your short list, IMO.

Check out the “official candy cane build thread” Steve just did a nice write up on the install of the fan system.

Yup, for sure. The OP here is asking about a variable speed fan, not for a two speed setup. But if you are doing the relay route, Steve has a nice write up!

I spent several months researching the most talked about Ford fans: the Mk 8, Taurus, Volvo, and Contour/Mystique fans.
What I found is that the label Mark V111 has become an all-encompassing term like 'candy bar.' Although Ford or Bosch or Seimans put Mark V111 like blades on an untold number of fan motors (some two speed, some single speed, some taurus motors, some sable, cougar or Mustang, some that spin fast, some slow) when a person sees the wide blades they automatically say: Mark V111, even when that particular fan may be spinning half the rpm's of the original Mk8. Even when you pull it yourself from a vehicle at the J/Y, unless you enter the serial number in Rockauto or another source, you don't know what you have.
I am not challenging anyone. I am merely relating what I discovered after months of research.

Did you buy that fan on ebay? I ran that part #/serial # through Rock auto and got zip. I also searched for the 97-98 continental fan and got a dual fan system. Oh, and btw, a continental fan is NOT a Mark V111 fan. That is a diff. model car, diff. fan. They may look the same, but the motor is diff. Do you have a RF# on the motor? I don't mean to keep hammering on this issue, but I spent months researching these fans and ended up writing a book about them. Very few of the fans called MK8 are that. Yes, they have wide blades like their famous cousin, and they may cool wonderfully, but mk8 they are not. It's kind of like Frito's. They may be corn chips and taste great like Frito's, but they are just a bit smaller (less cfm cooling power) and less crunchy. Good luck.
