Default Cooling - Help - lsx fox swaps
What radiator and fan do all the lsx fox swaps run?

Can I use my 5.0L radiator and fan? Or do I have to run the fbody radiator and fan? Any insight would be great thanks.

Could you post pics of your engine bay? How did you wire it? Did you splice into the harness?

Camaro radiator and fans here, fit easily. Lower hose is stock F body and the upper is from an 01 Neon. Never gets over 185 in 100* weather and traffic.

I completely rewired my car with a Ron Francis kit as it had no wiring in it what so ever when I got the car. I had my LS2 harness reworked by Speartech and he provided the hookup for the fan so all I had to do was put a connector on the fan harness for his wire, it is controlled by the computer.
