Smile Donor car for electric fans

Any good suggestions for donor fans to eliminate the mechanical fan?

it's an '83 with a new 350.

I heard of people using an electric fan from a Ford Taurus (i know, i know a ford lol) but i hear they work pretty good.

The Taurus set up requires a lot of amperage, how would you set that up?

Just a relay, or direct fused switch?

Just get the factory dual TPI electric fans. You can usually find them for less than $100, and you can't beat the factory look.
