How close is to close?

I know this is close, as I mentioned we picked this fan assmbly at a swap meet, and my son's been driving the snot outta this thing for 2 yrs,, power shifts and all the goofy things kids do..

It worked for us,, last pic is a peek of the chain I mentioned earlier to prevent the engine moving forward on abrupt stops..

hope it helps..

PS that's a new copper rad ..
