E-Fan Swap

E-Fan Swap
I know there are a lot of threads on this, but I haven't found an answer to my specific question.
I have a 98 2.5 5 speed. I want to convert it to an electric fan.
I grabbed a fan from a Taurus, reading that they moved a lot of air. It's a good 4" smaller than the shroud, and will be tough to mount. I tried sheet metal and it was just too flimsy, and a pain to work with.
If I grabbed the E-fan and shroud from a newer Duratec Ranger, would that swap right into mine? It'd be a hell of a lot easier. From the little I can find, the shrouds look the same.

Yes, you can use the Ranger e-fan found on later models.
With either you need a temp sender to activate the e-fan relay
No, no switch in the cab, that is asking for trouble.
Good look here at another e-fan option but also how to set up a temp sender on the upper rad hose: Volvo Electric Cooling Fan
