There are two ways to do them you can cut them and the Dual port head tin up and weld or rivet the fans to the Tin or you can mount them inside the car on the firewall adding a 2 inch neck and welding a plate across the head tin with a 2 inch neck then use duct hose to go from the firewall to the head tin I ran Fans on my street car I installed two collars on the back of the fan shroud with the fans mounted inside on the firewall with a short hose going from the fan to the back of the housing that way you can race with the belt off and use the fans, only one draw back with this set up you have to cap the fans off inside the car when your not using them otherwise you lose some of the cooling from your stock fan shroud it is easy to cap them off I made two 4 inch Round Metal plate's with velcro just stick them on when there not in use..

I prefer the gray ones. They tend to cook easier.

I ran Fans on my street car I installed two collars on the back of the fan shroud with the fans mounted inside on the firewall with a short hose going from the fan to the back of the housing that way you can race with the belt off and use the fans, only one draw back with this set up you have to cap the fans off inside the car when your not using them otherwise you lose some of the cooling from your stock fan shroud it is easy to cap them off I made two 4 inch Round Metal plate's with velcro just stick them on when there not in use.. see my above post
