I have a '46 truck with a late model 235. I'm using a short water pump, but the blade hits the bottom hose and outlet on the radiator. I see two ways of going. I think i can move the radiator down a couple of inches in the radiator frame or i could go for a smaller fan. The clearance between the radiator and fan is really small. I hope someone out there has gone thru this and can advise me.

Any time I've seen that done it looks butchered.
As to clearance between the rad and the fan I must have the tightest. Its about 1/4" and if I blow a fan belt the rad would have to come out to change it. It is too tight and I'm not happy about it but its been that way for about 12 years. I just make certain my motor mounts are good. | | | | | Joined: Jul 2003 Posts: 586 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Jul 2003 Posts: 586 | I'll try getting another fan first and see how it goes.
