I need more space infront of my 440. Does anyone know if there are some water pumps that are shorter than others?

None that I am aware of but eyeball the back of the housing itself & see if it can be milled to move everything rearward

Does it throw the pulley alignment off?

The reason I ask is, I only have 1/4" between the WP pulley and my electric fan. I need to move the motor forward because of binding between my oil pan and center link.
