Electric VS standard fan

I have a new Champion radiator--also new (with spring) lower hose--motor is fresh 340 with 4 speed and A/C, problem is not enough clearance between water pump snout and radiator to install factory fan. I've looked at every thread on every website and have come to the conclusion that I'll need a smaller radiator and go back to factory fan with shroud. Tried 2 or 3 different thermostats and even different size restrictors. Also have remote temp gauge in engine compartment that I verify with temp gun--they always match. Anyone want to trade a factory radiator for my new Champion radiator?
