6.0 short fan clutch??? I am doing a ly6 6.0 conversion into a 79 toyota landcruiser. I have the mounts tacked in and am checking clearances. Everything looks good except that I am very tight to the radiator. My donor is out of a 2008 2500 pickup with a mechanical fan clutch. Would like to keep the mechanical setup as it seems to be a better off road option. Is there a shorter fan cltuch setup that I can use with out a fulll pulley system changeout? pictures of existing setup below:

Pretty sure all the truck fans are the same. The cars were all e-fans. The TBSS has a mech but it is electrical clutch but its the same size as the trucks I believe.
Just remove the mech fan and add electric fans, be easiest thing to do. They will cool just fine. The 1/2 ton GM Vortec trucks have all had e-fans since 05 anyway.
The e-fan would be better off road especially if your crossing water deep enough to get into the fan and damage the rad. You can have an override switch to turn off the e-fans.
