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.

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.
Interesting...Here are the dimensions:

Hey Andrew,
I just came across this thread while looking for an electric fan for my LS swap into my 69 Camaro. I just got a TermXmax, do you know if it also has PWM output that would control this C7 fan?

Yes. The Terminator X and X Max have ground side and PWM- outputs.

Nice! I am liking this TerminatorX more and more as I learn about it. I don't even have it installed yet. Now I need to find the dimensions of this C7 fan to see if it will fit my radiator.
