Default Aftermarket electric fans

Looking to get rid of my stock fans and get a pusher or push and pull combo. My stock fans make it too tight in the engine bay with my procharger setup.

Let me know what you guys are using and pics if you have them. I'd like to get some type of fan combo that can transfer to a vertical rad at some point too.

Thanks!

If you're going to convert to a vertical radiator why don't you keep the stock fans for now? They move a ****-ton of air and are quite good. Even the LS1 guys actually convert to LT1 fans for added cooling (believe it or not).

If that's the case I'll just stay with them. How do you go about installing them on an aftermarket rad? Do they have the hook like things on them to hold the fans or do you use the zip ties that go through the fins? And sense we are on the subject, does anyone have a pn or brand they recommend?

Not surprisingly the stock radiator does a tremendous job at rejecting heat and most people who bothered to "upgrade" do not see any reduction in engine temps and admit that it wasn't worth the couple hundred bucks.

Short version - stick with stock.

Can the stock radiator be mounted vertically or do you have to buy a new radiator to do that?
