What I'm going to do is install a blower motor from some car, (cut off the flange) and secure it into the shroud somehow and mount the old fan onto the new shaft (somehow)

I can get a brand new blower motor for $55.

I thought of using one of those extremely powerful CPU fans that can push out 200 cfm but I figured those things may not be engineered to be exposed to sub-freezing temperatures like my car will be in the winter when it gets to minus -20 C. I'm afraid a computer fan might not be able to take the abuse of being, essentially, outside.

Once i get it all done, I will post a photo of the result so that others may do the same to avoid the mega cost of a OEM mercedes blower motor.
