Electric cooling fan?

Is anyone running an electric cooling fan? If so, what size, brand, model, etc? Do you like it? Does it work adequately on hot days, pulling up hills?

My donor engine is missing the fan and I din't have a fan shroud. Was thinking elec might be the way to go.

Most people say that electric fans are great for light loads but heavy loads and lots of uphill driving the stock fan is best.

I use a 2 electric fan setup, both fans come from 4 cylinder cars. they fit perfect side to side and only leave about 1 inch on top thats not pulling through the radiator. I like the way they work and the way I can set them to come on at what ever temp I want. Never had any trouble with overheating, they pull tons of air through. Go to a local junk yard and grab some e-fans off cars. I have paid from $5-15 for fans depending on what they come off of. Cheap and stock e-fans pull alot more air than aftermarket flex-a-lite's.
