Alum radiator/fan recommendation

Mach1Mark

Im to the point in my build where I need t make a decision on this element. I don't have a lot of room between the end of the water pump shaft and the rad mounting surface (~5.5" approx.). Any suggestions or should I plan on a mech fan?
 
My plan has been to use an electric fan but the engine is located where it is due to other fitment issues and I am left with less room than I wanted to install a single elect fan. Looking at two smaller electric fans or a mechanical fan with a clutch.

What belt/accessory system are you using? The stock Mustang 5.0 serpentine system takes up quite a bit of room.
 
that looks to be a nice setup for the price, but on my car it wouldn't allow for the larger aluminum radiator and an electric fan. I ended up going with and Explorer 5.0 front assembly, saved 2+ inches, but doesn't look near as nice as that. I keep looking for a way to improve the looks, but I do like the room on the front of the engine!
 
I chose the Champion 4 core (2.75" core). Looks massive thick !! Ive got an electric fan in mind but its going to require some work to get it to fit. Still considering a mech fan too.
