I can't get the fan back on because the fan mounting bracket bunks into the crankshaft pulley.

Hi,

The crankshaft pulley is at the front of the motor. This blower motor should be mounted under the hood in the firewall, passenger side. Is that correct?

Is the new motor the same size and design as the one you removed? Could you take a pic of what you are seeing and upload it for me to see?

Take a look through this link and let me know if it helps.

I will watch for your reply.

Take care,

Joe
