I've never done and electric fan on my Volvo. But I do have a Push/Pull setup on my modified Jeep.

If you can get the CFM across it, the stock radiator it should be fine.

Personally I would not run the fan all the time. It's just additional wear on the fan Motor.

On the Jeep, I screwed in 190 degree temp sensor into the unused Auto trani threads on my radiator. What you would need to do is find some other water passage on the block that you can screw a sensor into to give you accurate water temperture. (maybe some other Brickster knows of a spot for you).

Both my fans kick on at 190 degrees. I run a 180 degree thermostat so the fans basically only kick on when I'm at a traffic light or towing the boat on a hot day.

a Push/pull setup is a Pushing radiator on the outside of the radiator and a Pulling fan on the other side of the radiator.
This works very well for me.
