Space for BBC in 66 El Camino

I'm placing my 454 in my 66 el Camino and do not have fan space with my three core radiator, in there water pumps that will give me a couple of inches ? And how close is too close from fan to radiator ?

Those cars came with a 396 (same external dimensions as a 454), with a short water pump, you should be fine.
