It's not 4" but the price is pretty good.

UMI drag bar. It doesn't fit a lowered car for sh*t - plus I just noticed it walked to the left; going to need some collars to fix that.
With the other motor yes - absolutely. But, this one? Not so much as the LS6 cam is pretty mild.
Started to realize the mess I made for myself with the turbo placement. I am kidding - I anticipated this. I went through my selection of fans (stock Turbo Buick and some Ford stuff).
But it looks like the TPI fans will suffice; or I can order up a couple of pusher fans, when I order a remote rad cap (because choices).

Changed my mind - figure a larger more modern fan design with a shroud made more sense. So I chopped the dual Ford fans in half and started building a heat-shield/shroud.
High tech cardboard CAD (Canadian Aided Design) templating.
Transfer to aluminum.
Marked 1001 holes every half inch to be centre-punched, drilled 3/16" and counter-sunk (front and rear).
But first I had to make a centre-punch. Ground to a point, blued, and quenched in pure Canadian snow.
The painful hand-drilled aftermath. The purpose of the holes is two fold - one: ease of bending when there is about 30% less material to work against (the counter-sinking reduces potential stress risers/cracking points), and two: pressure reliefs (who am I kidding... I just think they look cool).
Twins.
Rigged up my fancy sheet metal brake. Funny thing is I have to do the bending by hand - this is why I workout. Right? Riiiiight...
1 million test fits and trimmings later... it still is too tight to the turbo flange. But, I have some ideas...

You might not have known this but a full size baking sheet is the same size as a G-body rad, next time buy one of Amazon and cut it in half. lol
$23 shipped even if you dont have prime.

Now this is just getting downright silly. Fan support/relay mount is complete. Oh - and the other shroud fits too.
Built some upper rad supports and started working on airflow control across the radiator core. That black plastic is from an old Krazy Carpet - if you don't live where there is snow, you won't understand.
