I worried about this issue needlessly while doing my swap years ago. When the fact is the stock radiator is 100% for daily use in hot or cold weather. Mine spends half its life loaded up, so this isn't a light duty trailer queen by any means that doesn't see work.
I point here is just to save the next guy some $ that could be spent elsewhere on the build.

I appreciate the feedback for sure and I agree that the stock radiator is up to the task. I just don't have any knowledge of how to install a set of fans on a radiator which is why I've been searching for a package radiator/fans setup. I have no problem buying a stock replacement for $180 and putting fans on it if I know what fans/shroud to buy and how to attach them. Do you have some advice on that? I'm looking at Spectra Premium CU369 from Rock Auto (same part number regardless of the engine) which has a trans cooler.
