Want to switch a fixed fan to clutch style. Have 3 3/4" between snout and radiator. The spacer that's on it now allows the blades to just barely hit the power steering shaft also.
Would I be better of with a clutch fan or just find a spacer 1/4" longer a keep the fixed? Is parasitic loss or the cfm moved matter that much to switch between the two?
