I've read the suggested distance from a fan to the radiator should be about 2 inches. Right now, with a shroud and a 2 inch spacer, I've still got close to 5 inches from the blade to the radiator. Looks like the max spacer I can find is 3.5 inches, but will adding only an inch or so really make a difference?
Another suggestion is also a long water pump, but then I have to change brackets as well. Any other inexpensive suggestions?
58 chev, 383 stroker.
Engine is running around 202-212 during idle, radiator is cooler at bottom than at top according to spot laser temp gauge. Car has not overheated. Tstat seems to open annd close properly. Have not looked but could be 195 deg tstat.
