Lol i know i know. I was planning on doing it after the cam but had to do heads because my drivers side head was cracked but i got everything in place just need stall gears and start save n for a 4l80. I may do a 6.0 i wanna go boost but i wanna keep my heads and maybe cam idk how well they would work in a 6.0 vs 5.3?

 

Update..... well i find out monday if i get to add a few more mods to the truck

 

well these came in today now just waiting on my stall duel 14" fans 5050 cfm should be enough. ill try and post some pics of the install and how i build the shroud

 

Well i went to the store and came home to this






I also picked this up for $80 brand new in the box should be a nice addition to the truck as well

 

quick question.... so im going to be building the shroud for the fans out of aluminum im pretty sure. my idea is a to get a flat piece and to use some 1" or 1.5" square tubing and use self tappers and silicone to secure and fasten everything into place. now the best idea i have come up with is to use cardboard to make a template any other ideas on how to get one going? thanks for the help

 

Cardboard would be a big help making a template but I doubt you need too much of a "shroud", really just need something to hold the fans close to the radiator and provide a little support. Also, you can reuse the existing mounting bolts & holes that are already there holding your current shroud. That's what the f-body fans use and then just rest on the existing little shelf on the bottom of the radiator, no other attachment needed.

I also installed a remote start on my '01 Silverado, if you run into trouble I MIGHT be able to help, maybe not.. Good Luck, I like your truck, the mods and the write-up!

 

sounds good. how far back do the fans need to sit from the radiator? and kk sounds good

 

I can't answer that for sure other than not much? Take a look at how the f-body fans mount, you can see they don't sit very far from the radiator..

 

humm i wonder if i get alittle thicker piece of alum i can just cut holes for the fan and fasten it to that?

 

As long as it's not flopping around smacking the radiator, I don't see why not
