The pulley you see in the pic is the crank. The closest pulley to the fan is over an inch away.

Jeremy,
You are doing everythign right! I wish I would have stayed with the truck intake and brackets. That swap has taken so much time!
Very clean work!
I'm interested in your exhaust--is it aluminized, 304 or 409?

I can't imagine how that radiator is going to dump enough heat, but I suppose Novak has done this before. It makes me want to try keeping the stock XJ rad with three high flow fans.

Its just aluminized bends and straight pipes I picked up from Summit.

It has more surface area than the Novak rad and holds 2 gallons of coolant by it self. I will modify the bumper to allow airflow to the lower portion of the rad. It will work just fine. Just testing here at the house in 75 degree weather I can barley get the fan to come on and when it does it comes on for about 5 sec and its back down to 190. I would not try the stock, nowhere near big enough.

I think Frank Z tried the stock for a while, temps were constantly creeping & would get to 240 in short order on the throttle in sand.

Might be me you're thinking of, I don't think FrankZ is anywhere near sand.

Yeah, I wasn't sure if it was you, Frank or the guy who put a 5.3, Stak 300 & a Klune under his rig. One of the first LS swaps on Naxja, anyhow. Am I right in that the stock radiator just wasn't up to it?

Well, today was the test drive.......
Holy $@@!
Wow. Wow. Wow! Unbelievable. I can't express what it felt like. Smoke the tires on demand kind of power. No leaks or overheating. Now to finish the hood. I will post a video and pictures as soon as I can.

Fantastic! Can I also bother you for the fan you used? It looks like you're onto a good solution for a lot less than the Novak or FFDynamics options.

I can look it up when I get home, but it also was from Summit. You can search Summits site for a 16" 3.5" deep and I think it was 2850 cfm. The radiator is $170 and the fan was $89. Way way cheaper than the Novak. I tested it out pretty good yesterday and today, highway speeds it doesn't get past 190 and in town the fan comes on for 5 to 10 seconds.
