You want the fan, shroud, wires, and relay from a Volvo 940/960, ANY YEAR!
The fan and relay from a FWD Volvo (850, S70, V70, etc) is interchangeable with 940/960 fan setup, but shroud is different, wires are much shorter, so don't get them, unless you need a spare fan and relay.
My prefer way of install is to use the Volvo relay. Red to battery pos and black to battery ground. The relay is turned on by the supplying ground to either small wire. One is high speed, one is slow speed. I never used any fuse with the fan system, there is no fuse used with the stock Volvo setup. I had a fan motor seized, put on another used motor and I was good to go.
Daytona install
CSX install
GLH install, custom shroud
If I can run bigger wire and keep my engine bay less cluttered that's what I'm gonna try if not then ill go grab the relay and all appropriate stuff. I plan on having an aluminum shroud made for my new TU radiator (once it gets here) and for the time being I'm gonna run the the stock fan. The plastic fan shroud is a very nice piece but for my new radiator I will have to save up and have a shroud made to look as nice as the new radiator.
thanks everyone for the input.
Just an FYI: My wiring for my Volvo 960 Fan and added relay:
Thanks Harry!

Nice! I went the other way, I picked up a fan pair from a 1999 Ford Contour. They are originally a puller set, what I needed was more air over my AC condenser and through the radiator. I reversed the wires to the motors and flipped the blades around making it a pusher system that covers the entire radiator opening in a K, G or J body. They are a two speed system with a resistor in series for low, and straight through for high. I used the SBEC to turn on low fan whenever it would normally be on and the AC compressor circuit is set up normally. I am using a high pressure fan switch from a 1993 Caravan to activate high speed.
On low they move a lot more air than even the 5 blade plastic turbo fan, high they sound like one of NASA Langley's wind tunnels.
Cool! I thought it was going to be more complicated. Meaning cutting into the SMEC wire at the fan relay.
