I use the factory LS intake tube. There's pics in the build threads in my sig. Never had one run hot if you get the fan in the middle of the shroud.

Re: Converting to electric radiator fans

I'm running a aftermarket vet radiator cost 100 bucks eBay. And I have a dual fan set up off of a v6 camaro I scored for 15$ fit like a glove. Each fan has a pos/neg that a flat blade connector fits right on. I'm using two 40amp relays an 10 ga wire. 30$ thermostat fan controller from AutoZone. It's adjustable. Don't know how much you can see in the pic but you get the idea. I bet a camaro radiator would work too. I run the vet for the built in coolers. I have since went to an aftermarket oil cooler cause my fittings kept leaking.
