I used the biggest sized one from summit (their brand) and made brackets. It cost like $180ish? The electrics you can find in the wrecking yards for cheap.

If you're looking for LS1 or LT1 fans, I cannot recommend enough that you call Tony at www.fbodychopshop.com

He has a great supply and is a pleasure to do business with. I got some LT1 fans from him for less than I woulda found on eBay for sure. Great thing about the LT1 fans is you can physically replace an entire fan if it goes bad. The LS1 fan setup seems to be more of a one-piece deal.

I bought an aluminum rad from Griffon that is very nearly the same dimensions as the stock ones.For the dual fans I'm goin with a set of 10" flexalites.The prices were middle of the road I suppose.

I am thinking about one of these:

I really don't need a separate cooler, so it may work well for me.

I used the BE COOL polished kit with the dual fans fits real nice. I think i paid $1200 for it.
