so I was having some overheating problems and I am replacing my whole cooling system. I put on a high flow 195 degree thermostat, flowkoolor water pump and am in he middle of installing a CFS 3 row radiator and the HD fan clutch from NAPA. I just put the clutch and radiator in for a test fit and I have about 3/8th of a inch of clearance. Should I be worried about this? I still have not in stalled the new fan shroud either. here are some pictures tell me what yall think.

Also I just installed Iron man 4x4 motor mounts and they are SOLID the engine doesn't move around like it does with stock motor mounts.

the vehicle is a 1988 comanche 4.0 4x4 short bed

here are some pictures

forgot to mention, Mine also didn't come with additional electric fan since it was a non ac model. so I just got a new stock 97+ electric fan to run in addition to the upgraded radiator and clutch. Im going to run it on a switch. Oh for got to mention also putting in a Flex-a-lite Heavy duty trans cooler and B&M trans temp gauge and some datsun 280z hood louvers. I really hope I won have over heating problems after all of this.
 
what part number is the clutch? I have about 3.4 inch of room
 
I remember it being tight but not that tight!

Good motor mounts are essential with these upgrades, especially if you have a 5spd
