Default Electric Fans - LS swap in 68 Camaro

After some searching, I decided to just post a question asking what others have done. I'm collecting parts for my 2006 5.3 into my 68 camaro. I plan to reuse the original big block radiator. What dual electric cooling fans do you recommend for the best bang for the buck that can easily mount to my existing radiator?

Thanks!

If you currently have e-fan, you can use them. If not.. cheap buck options pull out from the Junk Yards..
Taraus or Aerostar are common and popular
4th Gen F-Body have been used a lot and I have them on my Nova.

But just about anything and everything has been adapted.

I'm currently using a single 16" proform electric fan from summit ($60) and it does the job...I have it ran to a derale temp switch in driver side head...comes on at 175* and then shuts off at 190*, using a relay of course

Just bought these and I have used a dozen sets. With an aluminum radiator they will cool anything even in 110 degree Bakersfield heat.

That is the same ebay store that I brought my Radiator and Fans from 7 years ago for my Chevelle.

I picked up a set of late model camaro dual fans for $75 at local junk yard. Couldn't have got a better fit.

I used the 4th gen camaro fans too. They work great no problems with cooling. I have yet to have both fans kick on at the same time either.
