How close is to close?

Well Damn it! I picked up the Jag clutch and I only gained a 1/4". I now have a 1/2" of room, which Im still not comfortable with. I spoke with Motopsycho (Eddie) on the phone, because his car is very similar to mine. The only difference is he has a 73up K-member and mine is 72down. He has 1" of clearance. Im not sure if that make the whole difference or what but its all I can come up with.

As for using the fan with out a clutch Im not to comfortable doing this, I have heard of to many horror stories. Now whether they are true or not I dont know, but I would rather not risk it.

Now what I have found for electric fans is a 17" dual speed fan, that operates at 1700/2100 cfm. Is that enough cfm, I dont know. But only gives me, a 1/2" clearance between the fan and the pulley. Pretty much the same situation Im in now. I also found a perma-cool 10" fan that claims to move 2350cfm each. I can get a shroud made that will allow me to run 2-10" fans, which would be offset to the corners and then allow me to have 1" of clearance from the shroud to the pulley. Sadly, I think this is the option I have to go with.
