240 Pusher fan doesn't seem to bolt up

To start with, I made an ASSumption. This was my first mistake...

I pulled a pusher fan off a 1993 in a JY, hoping to just bolt it right in my 1990. Last night, about 10pm I took my grill out and started to fit the bracket in there...no dice.

All I pulled from the JY is the cage/fan assembly, and the brackets attached directly to the cage assembly. I didn't notice any other brackets, but I could have missed them for some reason or (again) ASSumed the Swedes made everything backwards compatible to the nth degree.

Any advice here? Not worried about debating the need for this or any wiring related questions - solely a fitment issue.

Thanks in advance!

If you took the fan off a 1993 240, it will fit on your 1990. The latch support already has the hole pre punched for the center bracket. The passenger side of the core support already has that hole pre punched as well. You are going to have to drill one hole in the top panel of the core support for the bracket that attaches there.

It will fit. Take a look here at how the brackets are installed:

Awesome! I need to go back and grab the horn support, and both the round, one-bolt hole brackets in the first few pics - easier than fabbing one.

Ok...I knew I wasn't crazy that this thingie looked like it need extra brackets.

Yep they do fit, you just need the horn support and have to drill a few holes for the brackets. I have one installed in my 87.

I actually installed one from a '92 into my '82. That was a bit of a mod-job but anything 86+ 240 should bolt right up with the necessary parts from the donor car. Good Luck!
