I have read lots of past forums that asked this question, but no solid answers. Will the Mark VIII fan fit with a BBC and a short water pump? I just bought a Be Cool direct fit radiator. Thanks Guys!

There was a thread about a BB, and the Mark VIII fan didn't fit. It is on page 2 of the Cooling section, titled "Mark VIII Fan Won't Fit". Member Strokers has a 427BB in a '68 Camaro, with Short WP, and it didn't fit.
It may depend on what car you have also. Here is a pic of my '80 Camaro with small block, LWP, and see how close the fan motor is to the WP pulley...about 1-1.5".

It can be safe to say, that if you have an older Monte Carlo or something with a longer hood and engine bay, You'll have more clearance...
