Default Making my own Triple Efan kit, Help

Ok so my jeep has no electric fan and it should so i am thinking of putting one togethor with two or three electric fans instead of buying the triple threat fan kit which btw looks very nice but dont have 275 bucks. So with two of these electic fans and some switches i should be good right? will it clear and work enough to cool without the Mfan? heres the specs and link
12Volt 2446 RPM and 764 CFM. Six point mounting bracket kit. Dimensions 11 1/4 "x 10 5/8" x 2 1/2"
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/10-RA...Q5fAccessories

What is the recommended CFM?

even with 3 it would not have enough cfm to cool the motor you need at least 2500 to 3000 to cool the 4.0 but if you combined them with the 3 row rad it may be enough to do it

dpg was selling a good 3 row unit that was a direct swap and worked very well but not anymore. i guess it just depends on how hot it is by you

ebay I listed the sellers name in the thread
the only extra parts I needed was the L bracket and two self taping screws
and two screw clips like the one on the top that hold the shroud
and two bolts to go in the new clips

good idea i would get a unit that turns on and off at certain temps and avoid the stock wiring so you can fine tune them
