DAMMIT! my BB radiator pushes the fan against the front sway bar...it doesnt fit!
the fan box itself ends up sitting 2 inches over the radiator...POOP!

got 3.5 inches between the radiator and front sway bar!

PATRO...what product did you go with?

I went with a crossflow "LS swap" radiator from Summit. This put both inlet and outlet on the passenger side. About 2 bills. I highlighted the specific model number via pictures in my build thread.

This flex-a-lite 398 has been treating me fairly well. This is a 18" x 26" baking sheet. Mounted it right to the radiator itself.

The black fan against the wall was a junkyard fan I pulled off a '94 cougar. It did a pretty good job until it quit. I think the 398 pulls more air than the cougar fan did before it crapped out.
