Default Electric Water Pump Sticks Out How Far?

I should have been more clear:

My LT1 is in a Volvo 740 Wagon:





So, my LT1-powered ride probably has more Volvo parts than yours... (interestingly enough the A/C system is Harrison).

How far does your (Meziere, CSI / CSR, Summit) electric water pump stick out from the water pump body?

With the electric radiator fan I have there is around 2" of clearance... which I'm afraid won't be enough for an electric water pump. Summit says the "overall depth" of the CSR is 2.75" and the Meziere is 3.5".

(I'm asking because I'm about to install an MSD Opti, and want to replace anything else needed while I'm in there.)

Thanks for the input!

I editted my first post. Here is the clearance, as you can see the fan blades and centersection are where it would make contact... don't think I could trim those:

I have a CSI water pump motor. It sticks out a little under 2 1/4" over the stock WP.

My Meziere is 2 3/4", if measured from the front of your cover.

Looks like you clamp barely clears the fan as it is.
