What 55-57 radiator and fan is everyone running?
I’m having a hard time finding a radiator and electric fan that doesn’t hit my accessory drive? Is anyone running one that’s under 6 1/2 inches thick from the mounting point to the fan?

Re: What 55-57 radiator and fan is everyone running?
I had that issue when I was running the inline 6. I opted for due 10" fans as the bulk of the fan stuck out in a different location besides the center. May be an option.
Old video but you may be able to see how I had it set up and it might get your brain thinking. https://youtu.be/5Nh1n2eC_xo

I don't have any measurements on mine, but I'm running a Champion radiator with a Maradyne fan. I have a 400 SBC in the truck

I actually ordered a 60-62 radiator. It’s pretty close to the same dimensions but mounts flush to the core support

Mine is dead on 6-1/2 guess that won’t help, 350 with surpintine front, have lots of room between fan and accessories

these trucks were designed for a I6, the v8 is shorter. you should have lots of room for a fan
