Has anyone tried the conversion? Does this sound like a good plan? Do you think it'd be worth it to try this conversion? The universal kits are fairly cheap (around $60 for a cheaper kit).

They have relays to determine how hot your engine is and vary the fan speed accordingly as well...

you have an electric fan
