Here is an update...

I've been working out a plan with members of the other forum and the long of the short of it is that I'm probably going to go with the following:

Flex-a-lite fan controller-

Maxima Fans-

Radiator-

Total cost is about $240

I'm thinking that it isn't worth all of the time and effort required to get the stock clutch fan setup working with this much deeper radiator. If I go with a set of Maxima fans, at least I will be guaranteed that everything will bolt up well. The only trouble will come from wiring everything up... at least theoretically. 2 benefits of this setup are that I will save a couple hp by keeping the fans from turning when I am cruising at high speeds and the space gained in my engine bay will allow me to work on my engine more easily.

What do you think?
