Clearance question

[Trevor B]

Is there any clearance issue to be expected using a stock magnum fan+clutch in my '73 Duster, with the Duster's stock radiator? Thanks!

yes

So it won't fit. The engine I've got came with a serpentine setup out of a 97 Grand Cherokee. I think the previous owner had electric fans but I was trying to avoid that...

chat with @rumblefish360 , he is doing a magnum swap and ive seen the clutch fan on his build

My 5.9 was out of a Ram 2500 truck, and went into my 68 Dart. I have an aftermarket "Champion" aluminum radiator and if anything the ram fan was too far away from the radiator. I went to the salvage yard a pulled a couple other fans and clutches off of Durango's, Dakota's, Cherokees. Don't remember exactly which one I ended up using, but it has a little bit longer nut where it screws onto the waterpump, which moves it forward a little but I still have plenty of room.
