Best way to fit a clutch fan in these things

[DumpsterFire]

On a small block in these early a bodies you don't have a lot of room for a fan. Is going with the old cast iron water pump required to make it work? I really rather use the later water pump if at all possible

Using the later water pump, requires using the later timing chain cover and a later radiator that has low passenger and high drivers water plumbing.

Yeah, I'd rather use all the later stuff

I thought it didn't matter which timing cover was used

As far as I know, that only matters for the factory timing tab/indicator if ya worry about that stuff... lol
