Default Cooling fan for conversion? CFM rating?

I am getting near the time of need for a cooling fan for my conversion. My stock system in my Vehicross had a clutch fan and of course, my LS1 used an electric fan... so what do I do? I need to find an electric or dual electric fan to install in the VX... I have 17" height x 24" width to play with... maybe a little more either way with some trimming... What kind of CFM do I need to keep things cool? Does anyone know the dimensions of a stock cooling fan of any of the LS1 powered vehicles? F-body? Vette? Truck? Any help would be great. And for the record, I did a search... didn't find what I was looking for. Thanks in advance.

Coach... I mean Randy (I often forget who I really am)

I just put 1 16" fan in mine. I think it had a CFM rating of 2800. Ive never had any problems with it overheating. Thats with a big aluminum radiator.

I'm going to use a Taurus fan setup. It moves alot of air and is a popular swap for V8 powered stuff. You can get them on ebay for cheap.
