Which Fan and Radiator setup for LT1 swap?

I am collecting parts for my LT1 swap for my 1992 RS Camaro and was wondering if anyone has ever done the swap with an 4th gen radiator and dual fans setup? Or can I just reuse my radiator and just use a 4th gens dual fans?

Use the stock alum radiator... (I dont know if the LT1 rad fits or not) but the fans should work just fine on the stock rad. Of course of the rad is free, give it a shot

I wouldn't use the stock fans, as they are barely adequate for a
relatively low horsepower system, and way underpowered for
people that live in warmer climes like you and me. I recently built
a nice setup using a Spal dual fan and an new o.e. radiator. I built
a nice aluminum shroud/radiator mount that will force the air through
the fans only, and I polished it just because. It looked so good,
I didn't want to put it in the car!!!!!! I guess this is what my wife
means by obsessed.....

Where Can you get Spal dual fan setup at and how much does it cost. Will it fit easily into a 3rd gen and can they take a around 300-400hp?
