i remember hearing once all i had to do was connect 2 wires in the connector of the fan and that was it. i don't wanna do it using a switch, i want the fan to turn on when i turn on the ignition switch.

You can pull the plug off the connector on the thermostat housing and stick a paperclip in it or you can put a scotchlock on the two wires.

well i stripped both wires(without cutting) on the fan switch sensor conn. then i twisted them together and waraped some electrical tape on'em. i had a overheating problem. i gutted the thermostat and did the constant fans on and now it runs way cooler, even after a few hard runs in 3rd and 4th it stays at normal operating temp then falls down a bit if i don't get on it.

its not good too remove the thermostat. It can cause your coolant to flow to fast and it wont cool in the radiator like its suppose too, and you have no heat .

Put a thermostat in it. Your motor was designed to run at "operating temperature".

the way it is now, it gets to normal operating temp. after i run it real hard a few times. then if i just cruise, it'll be 1 line on the temp gauge below the normal operating temp. what happens if the engine ran a little cooler?isn't that better to prevent detonation.
