1996 GMC Jimmy 350 swap
#11
well, i have the engine as far back as it can go. I'm gonna mess with it as I was under there earlier and saw another set of holes near where my trans crossmember is. It seems if i scoot the engine up I may be able to make it work with those holes. I dont have a particular electric fan in mind yet, any suggestions are welcome. I would rather go electric fans, but certainly dont want it to overheat.

You can get a nice set of flex a lites for 150+ or get a fan set off a 3.8l taurus. Problem with the taurus it pulls a ish tons of amps on start up,other then that its a great set. You need at least 4k cfm with ac. So,keep that in mind.

I got a set of fans from a 2000ish intrepid and they work great.

i wont be running AC, it didn't work before anyway. I'm gonna check some scrap yards for a taurus fan and intrepids as well. whichever i find first is probably what i'll use

mounted the radiator by modifying the fan shroud
Mounted and wired my electric fans, found some on ebay that seem to fit my needs, 2 12inch fans. Tested them and they push pretty good.
Moved my relay mounting and used an existing relay to run my fans with a switch inside i used to use for fog lights

looks like i'm gonna learn how to make brake lines, the factory brake lines on the driver side all coiled up is touching the headers... Guess i'll just delete the abs module while i'm at it

Beauty, makes me wanna get mine swapped! You should pull the ABS module out as well, it won't work anyway with the ECU removed. It helps brake pedal feel immensely!

i was thinking about it but then i'd have to get creative with the brake lines. Lol. I'm still trying to figure out the power steering hose
