Default Electric Fans installed

Well last night i spent a good 6 hours making a custom electric fan setup on the truck, dual 12" fans, have them ran to where they are on when the key is turned on, and they really make a difference, at first i noticed it pulled a little more, but the more i drove the more i noticed they really do make a pretty decent gain, and you can feel it, when they say between 6-12rwhp, i think its pretty accurate, thought id let some that dont have the e-fans know that they really do make a difference.

I just bought some today from the local junk yard, off a 01 alero....there dual and one is 13" and the other is 12" got them for $40 and five fingered the relays from the box with me so I can use them. I hoping for some more MPG and little power! so this makes me a little more excited

there is some pics, my bad if they are a little big, im pretty sure they are 12 but they may be bigger, i had to shave part of the fan off on both side to get them to fit, they only have about 1/4 to 1/2 inch between them as you can see, it was a tight fit, thats why it took so long, they do work really well tho and you can def feel it in the seat too, maybe not right off but youll notice after driving some

Any particular reason why you didn't want to do the LT1/LS1 swap?
