Maybe you should fit the motor and 'box before lowering it more?

That is the plan but I need to move the rear one spline so I got more to play with. I have drop plates at the back so it’s fully adjustable. It’s on the lowest setting now so more adjustment is needed.

Iv heard that the serpantine pully system grenades fans like a champ. It doesnt allow for any slip on the alternantor pully,and after 5500rpm the fan gets really unhappy. Based on what Iv heard,I think its a bad investment.

Don’t know I have read it’s better for revving motors. I have fitted a rev limiter witch will limit it to 5600 so I think I will be ok.
