I baught one, it was noisy as hell, sounded like a diesel truck fan absolutly horrible. Dont get it if you want one Ill give you the one I baught for $25 shipped.
I put it on once and took it off right away.

Yea, I baught a new fan from 50resto.com and works great.
I would go electric but I dont like the sound it makes after the car turns off. Maybe its just bad wiring on my friends part but I just didnt like it. Maybe he should of connected a Hot line from the key but I donno.

Im pretty sure that you can get a nice overfill tank that mounts right where your battery is. But you are also going to need to go with a battery relocater kit to do this. I wouldnt take off your shroud either. They dont look that bad. You can go with an electric but as you can already tell from what you heard, they are loud.
