Which newer fuse/relay boxes to look for (ls1 swap)?
Based on some prior reading here, I'm thinking that my fans (wired with 2 relays) ought to be wired with 3 relays like the factory 4th gens the engine came from. Some of ya'll use the newer fuse/relay boxes to accomplish this. I'd like to buy a newer fuse box that's wired and ready to plugin if possible.
1) Which fuse/relay boxes will work? How about early 4th gen v6?
2) Anybody have pics of making this look good in the engine compartment?
Thanks!
Edit: This post (https://www.thirdgen.org/forums/ltx-...-fan-temp.html) is what I'm referring to. I suppose I could rewire any fuse box, I just want to avoid any unneeded work.

use this drawing. then do the pin 42 and 33, and get the tune dialed in to the temps you want then to turn off and on at.

I was actually thinking this looked like it could be a nice setup if wired right. My current relay/fuse setup is a little cluttered...

That fuse box you linked to will work but $50 plus shipping seems awfully high. If you want to go the cheap route go with pockets suggestion and scrounge the junkyards. I've found that el dorados, auroras, bonnevilles, and sevilles all have nice wiring setups. I've found junction boxes, buss bars, hard to find connectors, and fuse boxes in these cars. If you have access to a u-pull junkyard then do it for sure and save yourself some money.
