Fan blade/Fan Shroud Clearance with 8 rib pulley setup on 87-93 mustangs (s-trim)
I was wondering if you guys that had an 8-rib pulley setup with your s-trim's had any clearance issues regarding the stock fan blade hitting the fan shroud, along with the rear stock fan blade hitting the crank pulley :confused:
Please note this incident occured on my setup and I am using a GDI 3 ROW radiator.
I figured a quick remedy would be a fan blade spacer, but the lowest in size for one I have found is a 1", and that makes the fan blade pretty DAMN CLOSE to the radiator. I figured a 1/2" or less would space the fan blade enough to clear the crank pulley.
Maybe some washers?
I had a six rib custom setup with a 2.95 pulley and matching ribbed crank/blower pulley setup originally of course with no clearance issues!
