One thing to consider when installing a radiator fan is the amount of room you have for installation. I recommend installing a fan in front of the radiator. You will want a fan that has a high CFM(cubic feet per minute).
If you have the room I recommend a fan like the Derale, part # D18217. This fan has a high output of 2,400 CFM on high speed and 1,800 on low. The fan overall dimensions are 16-7/8 inches wide x 16-7/8 inches tall x 2-5/8 inches deep.
If you find the fan will not fit you can check out the link I have provided to our product page for the fans we offer. You can check out the dimensions to fins a fan that will work for your Express.
For the two-speed option you will need two manual switches like part # D16740. Using a switch will allow you to be able to turn it on or off when you wish.
