1967 - aluminum rad and fuel set up Whos got a recommendation on a good aluminum rad/electric fan set up for an LS swap and are most going with a new fuel tank with built in pump and return or retro the stock tank?

I used a Champion radiator and used/ stock 4th gen F body dual electric fans on my '67 Firebird. My engine makes 553 hp, I've driven my car 7k miles now including a road trip from LA to Reno for the HAN last year, and the car stayed cool.
I also have an in tank electric fuel pump. I used this for the pump:

and modified to fit inside a used Rick's stainless steel tank.
regardless of whatever tank you o with I highly recommend you go to a junkyard and pick up an anti slosh valve from any later model vehicle and fit in your car. It does its job and keeps fuel from spitting back up the tank neck every time I accelerate.
You could also make yourself a fuel pump access door in your trunk floor if you have time. It'll make access to the fuel pump a lot easier in case you need it. You can just see mine in the second attached pic in the lower right corner.

This is somewhat subjective- depends on the look you're going for. I had mine rebuilt by redline gauge works as I wanted to keep the vintage feel of the car. They rebuilt my speedo with the guts from an autometer speedo, and I have the needle and facing of my original factory rally gauge.
