Hey Guys;
Now that I am living less than 200 miles from Death Valley, believe me when I tell you that it gets HOT here in the summer. So, I've decided to install  a CCI electric fan in my 56 Customline and need an extra 5/16" of depth clearance. Since I will be removing the mechanical fan anyway, Plan "A" is to cut 5/16" off the end of the snout on the water pump and just leave about 1/8" to center the water pump pulley. Do you see any isues with this? Plan "B" involves modifying the core support so the radiator can mount to the inside of the core support rather than on the outside, but this is much more involved.There may other electric fans with a lower profile, but this is the only company that makes a shrouded electric fan for 56 Ford cars.
Thanks,
Rono
