If you have a parallel flow radiator with dimensions similar to 2nd gen 'Birds, the Flex-A-Lite #295 is a good electric fan option. I've heard nothing but good reviews on it. Flows at 4600 CFM, has conical design integrated into the shroud which favors travel of air through through the shroud (air hates sharp corners or flat areas, just like water - that's why the CC fan shroud is garbage), and rubber flaps that are forced open at highway speeds to further aid in heat dissipation. And for 2nd gen 'Bird radiators, it fits pretty much perfectly on the core. The fans suck around 50-60 amps each, though, so to get full power out of them you'll need to upgrade your alternator and definitely install a controller. It's reportedly loud as hell, but then performance, period, is loud so you know lol




Here's the fan installed on a G-Body radiator, which has similar dimensions to 2nd-gen Bird and 2nd-gen GTO radiators:



Perfect core coverage, not to mention the fan comes with an integrated seal around the fan so that there's nowhere for air to escape except where it's designed to.
