Will my fan work?
After swapping engines I read that i might need to change my fan? Right now it's a single fan. should I switch to a double fan?

do you still have the computer?
I'm doing an engine swap right now but its a 350. I'm using my stock electric fan, but I'm just going to wire it up so that it turns on when I turn the key.
I would just keep what you have, either install a switch so you can flip it yourself, or hotwire it to a battery source.
make sure your cooling system is above par so you don't have to rely solely on your fan to keep things cool

It has been wired to the battery forever...and the cooling system is great as well...i guess i'll be fine? I did the V6 MPFI to 350 TPI. WOW!!! What a difference.

... I was figuring it was a 3.4 or something since your car info still said it had a 190.
pleasant surprise
