I can fit 2 11" fans on my Griffin Rad. What is a good fan to use in an 11? I have read that cfm isnt always the best, also have read that cfm and amps go hand in hand. I am mainly asking around for personal use.
Thanks in advance,
Kyle

What are the dimensions of your radiator core. Spal makes some nice high CFM fans. Stick with pullers too, they move more air VS pushers.

Your best bet is an OEM GM/Ford/Chrysler fan shroud combo that fits your radiator.
They move a lot of air, cost a lot less than good aftermarket fans, and will be available at any parts store if you need to replace.

I have a griffin rad that is recessed into the core support of my f body, the core available is 22.5" w x 12" h roughly. I have an s475 infront of the motor but I just may have enough room to squeeze some thin pullers. If I can run pullers I will have more height to play with. I can measure this afternoon and see what I can run for pullers

See how much room you have for pullers. You could also do 1 pusher and 1 puller if you cant squeeze 2 pullers. Do you still have the air dam on the core support to force air up from the bottom ?

If you can fit an OEM fan, do it.
