Are this notches that I can put myself on the existing fan? I have access to a machine model shop at work and I thinking I can cut an even 1/8 of an inch on each of the blades.
Any issues by doing this?

I have a 53 Chevy truck that I have been building for quite a few years now. Finally I am ready to get it on the road, but as I try to install a new radiator it won't fit. Let me give you a bit of background: I am using a 1957 car engine, I replaced the water pump with the short shaft water pump, I have the original radiator support core, but as I try to slide the radiator down, it rubs against the shaft of the water pump. Also another problem that I have is that the fan rubs the crank pulley and it would need to be about 2 mm shorter to miss it. I am sure this is a common problem faced by those making this upgrade, how do I go about doing this? I don't want to have to hack the radiator core support, I have a spare core support (already hacked) but still I can't see how I can get it to fit. Do I mount the radiator on the core support before I install the core in the truck or afterwards? Would this make a difference? Thanks for you help.
