small radiator+stock fan, anyone done it?

I'm going to a ff setup and need to buy a radiator. I hear the stock fan moves a bunch of air, and wondering wby I havnt seen anyone use that vs the spal fan or cheap eBay ones I see.

Has anyone used the stock fan on a small radiator before? What were the results?

it works great if you seal the shrouding, and have room for it. it will move more air than anything aftermarket.

What's a good way to seal it? the weatherstripping that's sticky on one side? What about running both oe fans on the radiator, good or bad idea? I'd wire the ac fan to turn on with the other fan since I'll have no ac

the second fan will not be needed if there is no a/c. the second fan is a condenser fan

I know, but I figured if I could mount it on the front of the rad I figured it wouldn't hurt anything? Or is it more work than what it's worth?
