Has anyone tested these out yet ??? They look like they should fit pretty well. I have a finned area of 27x18 on my radiator looks like it should cover it pretty well. I see a few have used the neon fans but they are a bit shorter.

I have not done the test fitting but with a search I found 96 Chrysler Concord(er) ?Dodge Interpid 3.3L&3.5 93-95 years will work also 2000 Malibu if you want to keep it Chev also 96 Caprice is Chev.Keep in mind this Big block motors create heat I found out thru Becool Rad site that a 450 hp motor plus needs 4300 cfm fan system.Not sure how much horse power your pushing but I am sure you don't want your motor to over heat.Just looking here I am sure your 468 pushes atleast 450 hp.Not a mechanic but I don't think have have to be to venture a guess

I couldn't make the windstar fans work, they were too deep? I only have 5" at best from acc's to the radiator and it didn't matter which way I turned them it wouldn't work. I picked up a couple fans off of a 96 Plymouth Voyager. $21 at my local pick and pull. They fit great and both motors are the same at about 4" deep. Over all the shrouded area measures 25 1/2 X 16 or so and the fans are about 12 1/2 each. I was able to fab up a bracket to hang them off the radiator top plate. Looks good, won't know how well they work until this summer, will let you know after the Summer Nationals it's usually hotter than H There :)
