I have a '57 272 out of an F100 that is going in my Model A coupe, the engine has a fan spacer that is 2 1/8" long, the water pump shaft side is 3/4" and the fan mount shaft is 5/8". I would like to narrow the distance between the engine and radiator, can I do without the spacer? it looks like the fan will clear everything with no spacer used. I would just have to enlarge the fan hole for the larger shaft. Does this work or will it cause problems? I know there are shorter spacers out there so may go that direction.



Thanks
