Did you look at the photos? Did you see the blower snout? Did you see the blower tensioner pulley that would contact a fan clutch? Simply annoying.

I'm looking and the photos won't 100% confirm it but to me it looks like theres a good amount of space between the alternator belt & the blower belt..... As long as there is nothing the photos don't show I'd look at shortening the blower snout, tensioner & crank pulley...

Or use a manifold that moves the blower back some.

The pulley ratio was 3% UNDER-driven So i made a pulley out of 2 cut/weld and now have 17% over-driven ratio. That did it. Let it idle for 10min.s after a hard drive.

Yep correct, I assumed earlier (incorrectly) that he had a 7&1/4" crank pulley live every 24 hour block of time like it's your last day on earth

Why not mount an electric fan with a thermostat between the engine and radiator? That way when it gets hot the fans can run at whatever speed they need to to keep it cool - even when the engine is at idle. Better yet it frees up some parasitic lose due to the mechanical fan (or at least transfers it to the alternator). BTW you can find some inexpensive fans that are slim off newer vehicles, and I like the thermostat controlled ones the best.
