What are you guys running for the 4.3L? How big?

I'll double check when I get to the shop in the morning but I'm pretty sure that the fan I'm gonna be running is the Flex-a-lite Black Magic 12" fan with automatic adjustable thermostat. It's mounted on a stock Toyota radiator with the inlet/outlet reversed. It worked very nicely on the last truck the motor was in. I won't know for another few weeks how it works in my truck.

on a 350 not a 4.3 but anyways, I have the universal black magic from flex a lite, 15" with built in shroud measures 18" x 16" x 4". It is rated at 2800 cfm, it pulls alot of air and you can get it with an adj. thermostat. It is kinds pricey though.

Summit... Get a 14 or 16 inch. Make sure it pulls around 2500 cfm.

Perma Cool (http://store.summitracing.com/partdetail.asp?part=10634)
