The specs look like it would fit, I know some people have issues with a 3 row vs 2 row, and unless these fans magically work better than a stock electric I will dump them.

for fans look into the stock 87-92 gta/iroc dual fans or you could use 93-97 lt1 fans or ls1 fans as well since these are kind of a direct bolt in as well

You realize the Champion one in the sticky is twice the price right?

I've already got the dual electric fans off of an '87 ready to hook up when I decide to do it
