Undy: Thanks for the link, I'll be calling him with some questions.
Received my Taurus fan today, and started the install. As mentioned by the OP earlier,
the steering rack is in the way, as are the front suspension towers on both sides !!!
My first trimming of the shroud, with the unit top side up bottomed on the steering rack.
The left side is the worst because of the junction of the rack and pinion, and left the top standing proud by 2+". And that was after carving away some of the fan motor support structure. No way in hell was this going to fit ! So I turned it bottom side up and carved away on the top side (now on the bottom) And the best fit accomplished by carving a lot more, left the top of the shroud (bottom) level with a 1.5" alum piece I pop riveted to the radiator top piece. more later.
