BTW, it looks like 2 12" fans would be the most we could fit behind our radiators. However, I did find these fans that flow some serious air: http://www.alamomotorsports.com/pmc/Cat_page16.html . Check out the 14" & 16" versions. Just one of these would do quite well I would think. Possibly use one of them as a puller and then mount a 10" pusher on the front of my oil cooler and I would expect my situation would be well improved.

Insert catch phrase here Group: Advanced Members Posts: 2,098 Joined: 23-December 03 From: Michigan Member No.: 20	Are the fans in series in our LT1 engines? Can I remove one of them and still have one working fan? I'm in the middle of doing a few things on the car and the engine isn't running so I'm hoping someone knows before I reinstall everything.
