Default Vertical Rad + Cooling Fans

Finishing up tubing the front end of my car and looking to swap up the rad for a vertical unit it free up even more room.

For a rad im going to be running the Griffin 1-25241-X, that seems to be the popular option.

As for fans, what should i be going with? Car is Cam only for normal duty, with a 150 shot at the track. Automatic. No AC. The stock fans are much larger than the new rad it seems. Doesnt see many street driven miles, but it does it in traffic sometimes.

To put it simply, find the fans that most effectively cover the area of the radiator, while pulling the most CFM possible. What is the Height and Width of the core?

Either one 16" covering the width or a pair of 13" fans covering the length and staggered a little width-wise could do it. Look in the junkyards for fans in those sizes and use heavy wire to run them. They pull some serious amps!
