Default Taurus fan questions

I am looking into electric fan(s) for an upgrade for 96 XJ 4.0
So, a Taurus 3 wire fan ( Ford #8C607) is a 2 speed fan.? I can control the speeds indiviually either manually or with a controller.? I can use the Taurus as a stand alone fan and eliminate the aux fan.? The Taurus fan is an almost drop in fit.?
Thats it for starters, this is another option I am looking at. Price is high, but it is high quality might be worth while.

not really a drop in fit. some trimming is required. check the link i posted in your other thread. just make sure you wire it up correctly using relays.

and i would try to keep the aux fan for extra cooling if you have a/c and tend to use it on the trails.

i dont think so either too much work trimming and making a proper shroud i just used another xj fan . but am searching for what i believe is the perfect fan .. cadilac sts here is a pic of my rad layin on the floor with the aux fan still in place and a taurus fan beside it .. guys have made this work and i think it has worked well for them but you be the judge..
