Thank you so much that is very kind of you.
In the past when I was looking for wheels they had a long ship date but when I picked a location they had it for pick up. Your are most likely right but wanted to offer just on the in case.

When I went through all this with mine (thread is on here somewhere), lots of measuring and
such - but a consultation with Professor Ehrenberg nailed the combo for me.
Griffin "exact fit" aluminum radiator (3" thick!) that accepts a factory shroud was installed.
There wasn't enough room for the "shorty" Hayden fan clutch, so on the advice of @coloradodave,
I fetched a 17" 7 blade fan from Summit and used a 3/4" spacer to get the fan half in/half out of
the shroud.
Perfect, easily serviced.

Wow, how close is that clutch to the radiator?
I have about 5/8-3/4 of an inch
I would not feel comfortable with it that close,is your fan a 1/3 out of shroud?

5/8 to 3/4".. good for me, but then again I have solid engine mounts and nothing is moving..
It's hard to tell from this angle but about 50% of the fan is in.
I also have the Schumacher motor mounts with safety link on drivers side.

Of course you don't have this problem, your radiator flows in the opposite direction than US does! Duh!
