Just did a 5.3 swap in my burb. I need the fan to be about 2"-3" closer to the radiator to get the fan around the half in half in point. I cant find any company, or any other ideas, to get the fan pushed out that little extra. Anyone know of a company that makes a spacer or have any ideas? Here is how it looks.

You could ditch the fan and run an electric one

At this point i would really rather not as im going for a factory look. If thats what it comes down to then fine, but for now i would rather avoid it.

Does it not cool correctly?That is how mine is set up in my 1992 chevy pickup and it keeps the engine cool.I am also using my stock radiator.

Never seen one. Have you considered a fan shroud extension?

The temp seems to climb at highway speeds. Logic tells me this has nothing to do with the fan but i figured if it was a problem that was easily cured, i might as well.

I have considered it and i might still do it. Undecided.

Saw your post on Pirate also...
I think the only way your going to do it is have a spacer made. Obviously its going to have the female threads on the water pump side and the male threads for the fan to thread onto.

I wonder if you could get another fan from the wrecking yard and tear it apart taking the shaft out of it and get the male sided threads cut into it?
