LT1 swap

[Elbert]

I've not seen a LT1 with a mechanically driven radiator fan. Are we talking about the same engine here. The LT1 is a 350 but its not the same as the other GM 350 engines.... Caprice, Corvette, Z-28, and Trans-AM.... All were electric fan cooled as far as I know with the LT1 engine. Not sure if the Buick Roadmaster came with an LT1 option or not...but in general its the same car as the caprice.

I've been looking at the caprices with LT1's for an engine swap I'm considering....not seen one yet with belt driven radiator fans. (looking on Ebay). Got any pictures with an LT1 and belt driven radiator fan clutch?

Yes. Look at the link in post 14. The one from The Herd.

yes the picture proves it.... I'll check out that web site. I may be doing something similar to what the orginiator of this post is doing...using an LT1 as an engine swap. Subject car is a caprice with an LT1.... reciever is a 1986 Toyota land cruiser.... The "old" in-line 6 just does not have enough pwr.

The majority of the 9C1s do have purely electric cooling fans, but Mesa, AZ PD had their '94s all set up with mechanical fans (it gets quite hot down here in the summer).
