What radiator and what efan do you guys suggest?? I am ready to buy and the couple of people that I have talked to about this are very onesided and not very open to options. But I do know I want an e-fan. So please let me know what you guys think.
Thanks

hey dude in my tahoe i use the original 4.3 radiator and flexalite dual pusher fan,i have a/c ,i also use royal purple ICE,and i have not gotten hot enough to burp into the puke tank http://www.s10v8.com/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif saturday my new engine goes in and i am using the edelbrock aluminum water pump http://www.s10v8.com/images/smilies/icon_razz.gif
BeCool single core radiator made just for the S10 coversion, Robertshaw thermostat (180 in the summer here in Vegas), no mechanical fan....just a 18\" puller (the thinnest 18\" I could find and it came from BeCool.) Get a good water pump. The Weiand aluminum was great but I\'ve gone through two in a year. Just ordered a Stewart today. I had to put a 10\" pusher fan and run it with the AC on because there were times I\'d be on the road where the 18\" would not be on (it\'s thermostaticallt controlled) and the AC was on. At traffic lights with no air going across the condenser the compressor burped on me once. No problem now with the 10\" running when the AC is on. This summer was my first out here (moved here from eastern NC) and put my set up to the test. With outside air temps in the 112-115 range I had no problem keeping at 210 or below with the AC running. Definitely pleased with the setup (with the exception of the Weiand pumps pissing out the weep hole.) I\'m running a 305 in a 85 2WD with a 5 speed manual tranny.
