Update: I torqued the core support down to 60 Ft lbs. I also added a 1/2" spacer to the top shroud bolts. I have maybe 1/8" clearance, which still isn't enough.

The shroud is on correct. The drivetrain angle is very minor. Shimming the trans mounts would bring the fan into the shroud more. Shimming the engine would help but I don't want to go that route...

Unless anyone has any other ideas, unfortunately, I think I will do some trimming on the shroud...
