Yes, I was referring to stock trucks. Even ones that are mildly hopped up should run just fine with a stock set up. Time and time again people use electric fans to mask the real issue as to why they're overheating in the first place and never fix the real problem.
I know lots of guys with LS swaps that use e fans, but most of them use a form of OEM fan, and not an aftermarket one. Again, I mentioned I was burned by aftermarket fans (and have read about many others that were as well) and will use an OEM Chrysler fan on my C10.
I was also just burned by a pile of crap "aftermarket" flywheel. I installed a T5 in my 65 mustang and it's vibrating like crazy in N and all gears at the same RPM. Turns out quite a few people had the same problem with that brand. Expensive (and time consuming) lesson learned. Going with an expensive Ford Racing one now (didn't know they offered one for my set up at the time).
Nice looking motor!
