Pull the measurements for your radiator. If anything I believe two twelve inch fans may be too small. The two fans on Betty are 15 inch a piece. It might work

They are too small good price though. I paid 300 for my two 16" fans well worth it but it is hard on your alternator.

it seems that this was on a big block so shouldnt that be better? Also think i could just swap with two 15's or think space is an issue?

Honestly, I would probably stay away from those fans even though they are cheap. Its not the correct application. Spend the extra dough and get the right fan setup. The main idea is that you wanna make sure the fans cover as much radiator as possible. You couldn't modify that shroud to fit 15 or 16 duals fans away...not worth it IMO....

them being on a big block has nothing to do with it. It has to fit YOUR radiator. If you are not pulling air over most of the surface area of the radiator, the coolant will not cool down and the HOT fluid will go back into the engine.

I would not skimp on something that can permanently KILL your engine if it does not work properly.

Go for a SCT, pulleys, or some 1.7s if you want to gain some power. E-fans should be one of the last things you do.

It also stated that the car it was in had a 4 core radiator so I would say it had more changes to the cooling system than the fans.
