Cold Case 26in Rad fitment

I don’t understand the lack of clearance for the Hayden 2947. Is there a difference between the design of the 22 and 26 radiators? How they fit in the car? Or is it a function of the year of the car? My cold case 22 radiator and Hayden 2947 fit well in my 69 barracuda. I probably have 3/4 inch clearance from the radiator to the fan. I am running a 360 with the aluminum (70 & up) water pump and 7 blade fan.
I think the 2947 clutch should work with all small blocks. That’s why Hayden began to manufacture them strictly for small block Mopars to fit the thicker radiators...specifically 2 row 1.25” resulting in a 3” thick unit...ie coldcase. At least from what I’ve read on other forums as well as here. That’s one of the reasons I decided to go that way as I didn’t want to run an electric fan. If I had to go to a direct drive fan I would have.
