Thanks, I had to go to their web site, but I got the information I was looking for. One inch minimum from front of blade to radiator. Again thanks for help!
My STOCK 67 dart 273 2bbl automatic has about 1.5 inches to the rad. Stock, no shroud.
Technically the closer the better BUT that also Increases the chance of taking out the radiator if the engine shifts due to a broken eng and or trans mount
(Edited to correct distance to rad.)

happy to help. as to engine shifting, if you have a shroud, the fan could be farther away from the radiator...just in case.
Interesting, what is the length and number of blades, also does your car have A/C? Thanks
no AC, 17" IIRC, 7 blades, fixed no thermal clutch
remember that cooling is more than number of blades and diameter. Pitch is huge!
also the pulley diameters, the radiator, etc.
Found an old photo. Looks like the leading edge of the fan is closer to 1.5 inches to the rad.

Yes, I agree on what you are saying.
actually that looks like a 213 fan, 1.75 pitch which was the least pitch of the 7 blade fans. The greatest pitch 7 blade fan was 2.5 pitch.
The real question should be where the fan sits in the opening of the fan shroud. Can't understand why anyone would build a street car without a fan shroud...
