go to the pick and pull and find some ls1 fans. or even a taurus fan, or intrepid fan. they work great and very easy to hook up

^Good point. The Trans-Am did have a crazy strong fan on it.

Lincoln mark 8 fans will pull a small child through the radiator. Very popular fan for e fan conversions.

I run one on my mustang with a variable speed fan controller. Estimates are about 4000-5000 cfm on high speed. Prob the highest pulling oem fan on the market. I bought mine from ford for 140 bucks brand new a while back. Unsure if the price is the same. Used from pick and pulls are $25 or so. They do pull 40a continuous and 80a on startup, so gotta use a 75a Bosch relay to activate with appropriate wiring size and slow-blow fuses

This is also a good variable speed comtroller many guys use

Look in the the MISHIMOTO fans. You could run 2 of them just like the Flex-a-lite. They are thin fans so they will keep room in the engine bay as well.
Flex-a-lite 420 are a better design - quieter due to the S design of the fan blades vs. the 220.

The key here is AMP ratings of the fans. You don't want them to constantly be drawing too much and have your fuses blow. You DO want to have as many CFM (cubic feet per minute) out of the fans as possible though.

Search the net...there are plenty.

Depending on how much current the fan draws you are gone want to use relays instead of wiring direct through switches. A fan controller would be an even better option.
