I'd suggest an electric fan and remove the original fan blade altogether. That fan blade will cause several issues, like hitting the balancer, lower hose etc and wont be in the best location for cooling. I spent lots of time cutting my fan blade down to fit to the point it's not pushing all that much air. Or best bet, get this adaptor https://www.ebay.com/itm/1955-1962-CHEVROLET-235-261-WATER-PUMP-ADAPTER/142578007830?hash=item21324fbf16:g:jz4AAOSwmBhaCNA7
Best of luck
