You can alway go standalone.. SPAL (and others) makes some fans controller or thermostats Kits to turn on fans at 185 or 195.

Default Fans

Why not go with a Flexalite Black Magic 160, since you're just cooling a 4.3?

Cheaper, probably easier to install, and readily available.

You would need 2 relays (one for each fan, since I am pretty sure that the LS1 fans will draw more than 30A). You would want to wire them up as a single speed unit.

If you need a pair of adequate fans, I have some fans I bought on eBay that I'm not going to use. They're out of a '97 Iroc, one is newer than the other, but both are functional.

I can take pics if the interest is there. I was going to wait until my swap was done before selling off all my spares (I have lots of other crap to go also).
