What Cooling System Do I Need For My BluePrint LS Swap?
Why Is Cooling System Selection Important? Proper cooling system design is one of the most important factors in engine performance and longevity. A cooling system that works well in one vehicle may not provide adequate performance in another.
Recommended Cooling Components
For most BluePrint LS swap applications:
- Aluminum radiator
- Full fan shroud
- Dual electric fans
- Minimum 3,000 CFM combined airflow
- Proper fan control strategy
Air Conditioning Applications
Vehicles equipped with A/C typically require greater airflow, especially at idle and in stop-and-go traffic.
A quality dual-fan setup is strongly recommended.
Common Cooling Issues- Insufficient fan airflow
- Missing fan shroud
- Air trapped in cooling system
- Improper fan activation settings
- Inadequate radiator capacity
