The SPAL dual 11", fully shrouded set up comes in right around 24" x 16" - just a little wide so some of the shroud will line up over the tanks on either end of the radiator, but I don't think that will hurt a thing provided you seal the shroud to the rad as described by someone else up above.

I used this fan in a bunch of engine swaps (2jz, rb25, sr20, lsx)
new from ebay very inexpensive
The key to making a powerful set of electric fans work properly is to fully vacuum-seal the shroud to the radiator so the air is forced to go through the rad.
I take the rad out and cut up some flexible heat-shield materials (basically free reflective from junkyard, pliable, insulating material) to seal the edges. You have to get creative when trying to fit weird fans to weird radiators.
edit: Also I just remember why 'that' fan. Yeeaaars ago on zilvia.net somebody flow tested this fan and about ten other popular fans, including famous taurus fan and Flex-A-L220. And these Altima units came out on top, with taurus next in line.
