That is as long as you do not have one of them big boom boxes.   How many amps does the fans pull? Or just add the amps they pull to your standard alternator it came with. I was just wondering if you are going to e-fans to save on HP. If so it might be interesting to have a electrical engineer to figure out how many HP a alternator uses to put out the extra amps needed to run the E-fans. In years past we built a alternator tester at the shop and found out it needed 5-10 hp motor to run a alternator at full charge. Something to think about in your spare time.  Good Luck MT

Re: alternator question
I have 3 electrics on my old blazer . Two set by thermostat on front , and one large puller on the back and they don't reduce my voltage from 14.1 or change the idle with the extra load (with carb) . Body lift required conversion . The 3rd was overkill but I had it sitting around . Rob
