I am planning to do the LS1 fan swap soon and I have called around to a couple of local yards to see what they had. One had LS1 fans for $250.00 and another yard had em for $100.00.

My question is in regards to what exactly am I looking for. I know I need the case(shroud), fans, and motor w/ wires. Is there anything else I should look out for? How about condition, should I look for something in particular?

I just want to make sure I am buying the complete package.

Also, I will be fabing up a custum mounting braket(s) (close friend has sheet metal shop), so if anyone wants something along those lines I may be able to work something out. I am thinking something in brushed aluminum or anodized, etc.

Thanks

 

250 is way too much to pay. 100 is avarage. call around some more. i got mine for 35 bucks! no harness though. just fan motors, blades and shroud. i'll be installing them saturday.

 

I'd be really interested if you fabbed up some mounting brackets. I'm about to do the e-fans myself. I see them on E-bay al the time for 100$. YOu might wanna check there.

 

qwank:
when you say no harneess, does that mean you had no wires coming off off the motor? I plan on getting a harness similar to the nelson to run off the PCM. So I suppose that I dont need a harness anyways.

35!!! NICE. Where are you located? Im in SoCal, so i expect to pay a premium.

Thanks

 

You should not pay more than $100 for these fans. They are on Ebay all the time.

 

Post pics of your brackets. I just put some foam between the edges of the fans and the radiator and some appropriatly bent mending brackets from the hardware store.
