I done this many times and posted this on a few different places depending on the install. the car, truck or buggy does not matter, but this was an instll on my new to me 1982 South Wind with a very stout big block.
Parts list
1 Ford Taruas elec fan (from most 3.8 V6 motors. the Mark VII has the same fan and some Thunderbirds and newer Mustangs it is easy to find and most of the time $10-20 depending on the yard)
this is an example of one.
Front

Rear

A fan controller (this allows the system to sensce the temp. I got this one from Car Quest for $19

some 12AWG wire (how long depends ons your instal and may vary. A constant power Relay (the fan likes todraw amps so a normal plastic relay has a tendency to melt after time). I like to have a central tap for power and hate running things to the battery and crazy wiring.( this was off a full size chevy truck or Surban $5 at the junk yard and located on the fireal under the plastic box). and some connectors to put it al together.
