I don't know if it is the same dimensions, but my XR4x4 uses twin electric fans mounted in a metal backplate, with each fan coming on at a different temperature (not sure how you would fix that). You may be able to pick something similar up from the scrappers, but with the price of metal etc, there might not be many around.

Your best bet is to take your rad dimensions around the scrappy and find something the right size. You won't know if it is particularly powerful but at the same time you don't know how much blow your rad needs.

Someone on here can only advise if they have done the exact mod you are doing.

Bigger is generally better. But equally as important, if not more important is proper shrouding around the core.
