Re: Fan direction on a 97 lt1

Whichever direction results in air being pulled from the front of the radiator towards the rear. In other words, air should be pushed from the blades towards the fan motor.

The fans on my 98 go CCW when viewed from the rear.

Re: Fan direction on a 97 lt1

so if i read this right.....pulling air through means that if I put my hand behind the fan(between the fan and block) the fans should be blowing towards my hand.....correct?????

Correct... It's the same as the airflow while driving.
