S10 V8 Fan...

Getting all the parts together to finally get on with this build now that most of the dust has settled and I'm building my new shop.

Question is... I've dropped a 280ish HP SBC in this truck with an auto tranny and I'm running a 3 core aluminum rad with a tranny cooler (in front of) and an oil cooler that runs through the rad... Will a 16" electric fan be enough and is a shroud required?

Any assistance is greatly appreciated!
Cheers,
Ted.

See if you have room for a Taurus fan. They measure 22" x 18" x 6". the fan motor is off set from center so it gets past the pump.

I'm running a 22X19 aluminum radiator (Speedway Motors), 16" pusher fan, mild SBC, TH-350, and have no cooling issues at all.
