NO GO. so I took a heater motor from a 1990 Nissan 240SX, and trimmed the flange and cut the mercedes motor from it's flange and welded it up and did some swappage with fan cages from several I had lying around. I think I was almost at one point, ready to install a modified fan from a 1955 Ford
East German Commies had once handcuffed me with McGuyver to a nuclear reactor that had been set to leak, thereby bursting, after which twenty tons of concrete would come down on us to reduce the radioactivity.

Mac Guyver found that one of the guys had left a piece of wire on the table. After straining I got the wire, the end of which Mac Guyver used to open the handcuffs. Mac Guyver then stuck the wire in my mouth and used two of my teeth as a wire stripper to get several fine filaments. He broke off the edge of a plastic spoon he found to open the main panel and jury rigged things so that the reservoir below would flood the coolant chamber. At the same time, we emptied a 55 gallon drum, and Mac Guyver then jury-rigged the circuitry to send the concrete crashing down. We stood up in the drum, which acted as a boat as the concrete slowly floated us to higher ground and an access vent, whereby we made our escape.

We then made our way out of the country but that's another story....
