i just need someone with an ls1 swapped into their car to measure two things for me. clearence between the acc. and the radiator. now i say two because i need to know how close it is with and without the cooling fans in place.

i would also assume that if needed we can swap to push style fans that mount in front of the rad. instead of pull type right?

i need these numbers ASAP if possible please. got an interesting idea im workin on.

 

Clearance w/ stock IROC cooling fans is ample. I'm running an '01 LS1 with stock F-body accessories, and there's plenty of space...more than with my old L98 and serpentine setup.

I'm not able to measure it without inconveniencing myself, and I'm not pulling my fans for that 2nd measurement anyway.

As for pusher fans in front of the rad, you can measure that on your car.

 

i just need to know if theres the same amount of clearence because i would be either be running a single turbo setup (turbo mounts between the engine and rad.) and didnt know if it would fit like it would in a 4th gen.

 

theres more space between the LS1 and the 3rdgen radiator then there is with the 4thgen..


however, there is alot of diffrent things, so i wouldnt expect a 4thgen turbo kit to just bolt right in...... diffrent front suspension, diffrent kmember, diffrent steering, everything is diffrent.

 

thats what i figured. im still waiting on pics of the kit on a 4th gen to see how it mounts. i have a couple other ideas if this doesnt work out tho.
