fan to shroud clearance

How much room is between your SB fan and shroud? I have mine pushed as far as it will go to the passenger side and still could go some more to center the fan. The bottom of the shroud wont move anymore due to the contour and where it sits. The shroud doesn't cover the entire edge of the radiator on the drivers side, but does on passenger side. What is normal? I am guessing my fan has about 1 1/4" to 1 1/2" on the drivers side and about 1/4" on passenger side.

Your Fan Shroud mounting points determine Shroud position and is offset. The Fan Blade is off center toward passenger side on OEM Shrouds. Don't know why, but they are! As long as fan blade isn't cutting into Shroud there should be no problem.

As far as a gap on drivers side where shroud butts up along radiator side, any gap should be insignificant. If gap is large I would guess Radiator has been replaced, wrong shroud and or maybe radiator top plate cover different from when original.

No knowing the history, can only speculate.

When I went from a SB to BB, I had about 1" gap running all the way down the passenger side of radiator. I found a piece of channel moulding to seal it off until I replaced radiator.

You can try something like that to seal it off.

 

Again, my experience is the fan blade favors the passenger side of the tunnel and have had no problems.
