I have been watching this post now for the past couple of days and have yet to have anyone who has responded here to validate if, "1/4 of an inch separation" between the clutch fan and the radiator core is an acceptable distance. I am having a similar situation with my build...383 non A/C with an aftermarket aluminum Champion/American radiator. I am using the Jaguar clutch from Napa as it has the shortest shaft length of any out there, a 7 blade MoPar fan, without a fan shroud at present. It would be nice if someone here could validate that that distance will work properly. A simple yes or no would suffice without all the additional rhetoric. Please try to stay on point...




So if he has the Jag clutch already, what would be a shorter one?

Time for an electric fan only?

Torque strap the engine and hope for the best?

Just hope for the best?
