Electric or OEM fan?

[007]

For my LT1 conversion a bought a radiator with dual electric fans for around $370. Definitely not the best fans, but if they are not enough I will get the flex-a-lite fans for it. Reliability should be pretty good since they will be controlled by the original LT1 computer (runs them in two stages depending on temp). The aftermarket fan controllers are usually what fails on an e-fan conversion.

A huge benefit of electric is the space savings. This has made my engine swap so much easier! I can have the engine a bit further forward now. If I were going carburetor I would probably stick to the mechanical. I've had controller failures before. Although, a controller failure is easily bypassed to get you home.

Good plan. The Flex-A-Lite fans can be wired as singles or as a pair depending on the setup you want.
