Found a junkyard fan from a 90s Taurus that bolts right onto my Civic radiator

Picked it up for $12 at Pull-A-Part last Saturday and trimmed the shroud to fit, now my 97 Civic runs 15 degrees cooler climbing the Grapevine. Anyone else got weird donor parts that surprisingly worked?

Could you tell me more about how you trimmed the shroud to fit? I've seen a lot of people talk about using parts from other cars, but the details are usually missing. Did you have to cut the plastic with a dremel or just a utility knife, and did it line up with your radiator mounting points okay? I'm always curious about the little tricks that make these swaps work without a lot of extra fabrication.

Oh come on @derek939, that sounds like a hack job waiting to fail.
