boeman Posted May 2, 2004 Report Share Posted May 2, 2004 I have a set of LS1 fans that never made it onto my Z71 (I got them over the winter, and had planned to make a few runs at the track before I put them on the truck)... since it looks like I am going to be purchasing an SS in the next week or 2, I guess I'll have to start plans on putting these fans on it instead! Onto my question, what is the best way to put these on... does anyone have a good write up on the process? I had a few ideas I started working on a few months ago, but I didn't get too far into it because I knew my plans would change when it got closer to time to put them on... I am going to use the Flex-a-lite Variable spped controller to run the fans, I purchased it when it was on sale at one of the vendors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will do a right up as soon as i rewire mine. I got rushed and did it before i auto crossed and it loos like crap... but they work exelent.

dancar Posted May 10, 2004 Report Share Posted May 10, 2004 Vette Dude, Thanks for the reply, I didn't realize the stock fans drew so much power. What is a "ballpark" price for them? dancar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
