I used 2 SPAL 12" fans with my 454 install on a Griffin radiator. They were the only ones I could find that were thin enough to fit my 66. I think your 70 has more room between the radiator and block than I had.Don from Alumitech really helped me out with the fan problem. If I had it to do over I would buy one of his radiator/fan combination's (http://www.chevellecooling.com/m3_view_item.html?m3:item=CHEVELLE%20A-68%2F72-A%20%2090%20degree%20fill%20cap%20%2F%20With%20Spa l%20twin%2011%20inch%20fan%20kit).

Jon,
Is that block Ford blue in a Chevelle????? JK. Your engine bay looks great. Like the custom made hoses.

Thanks.
It is supposed to be GM blue but is very close to Ford blue. The heater hoses a silicone I got from the truck dealership I used to work at. Much more expensive than rubber but it does finish off the theme of the engine compartment. More pictures in my Sig @ "Web Page"
