i just bought this lincoln Mark VIII fan. I was wondering if anyone had installed this fan before and what steps they had to take. How does it mount up? where does the overflow coolant tank go? how did you wire it up to come on at the right temp?
any help would be greatly appreciated, or if you know any links to old forums about this (serached and found a few) or tech articles

yeah go back and get the alt form the lincoln its a 3g 130 amp ull need it and the lincoln is about the best fan u can buy from the factory i believe it flows something like 3800cfm

+1 on the alt.

I believe one from a sn95 works well in a fox to run an electric fan. Ive seen and heard of people using the stock alt. also, but it would be best to upgrade it.

how do you wire it up so that the fan comes on at a certain temp?
is there anything else i need to buy before i go to install the fan?

maybe call jegs see what they have in the way of lectri fan controllers? ull just need some wire and some solder and some heat shrink to make a nice job out of it
