Electric Fan install question?

[Broncotim]

I recently upgraded my factory cooling system on my 88 Bronco II with a 91-95 radiator. I love the upgrade but hate how close the fan shroud and mechanical fan are to the radiator. I am thinking about upgrading to a electric fan set up. This will resolve clearence issues and free up horsepower. However I am curious on how the best way to wire it up. Is there a way to have the fans come on with engine temp or will the fans always come on when the vehicle is turned on. Those of you that have preformed this upgrade lend me some advice if you would.

depending what fan you use, will determine space.

you can use a factory controller or relays paired up with a aftermarket temp switch or like a camaro/4 cyl stang fan switch, either is easy to override for manual control.

the power issue is potential. just depends. for track use its measurable 100% but general use the variables are just that. depending on your use and drive cycle benefits will vary.
