Charles,
Several weeks ago I got the radiator mounted in front of my 350 on a '54
frame and I had plenty of clearance for the fan, probably too much. I
did find that I needed a 1" spacer between the fan (a flexlite fan) and
the water pump pulley so the fan would clear the engine. I still have
plenty of room (about 3") between the fan and radiator so I will be
building a fan shroud to insure everything keeps cool. I am running the
long water pump on this engine as well, so I don't think clearance will
be a problem for you as you actually want to set the engine as far back
as you can for weight distribution.
