Re: LT1 GenV swap

Mocked in the a massive 19" 600 watt pwm fan. The radiator core is 19" tall.. think it was meant to be.







Shows the gap between fan and core, will get pushed away a little more
The wood strips are 3/4, gonna use some 1x1 aluminum as a frame and rivet a piece of sheet to the frame.

Since I do t have a metal brake wide enough for the sheet metal, the 1x1 square tubing frame should work out. I'll bend a piece for the top, to cover the radiator and one for the bottom part so fan pulls all the air from the core area.

Need to do some research on what other companies use as far as thickness and see who has a sheet or scrap large enough for this project.

New header flanges should be in Thursday along with the u-bends.. and I work the following Saturday
