Or if you have some fabrication skills, here's a Taurus 3.8 L fan on a Dewitt's radiator:

Lincoln Mark 8 fan.... Mounts up easy on a Vette radiator, just be prepared for expensive 75amp relay, 50 amp Circuit breaker, a ton of thick gauge wiring and a 140 amp alternator/charge wire upgrade.
I just completed this on my BB.... Ofcourse right now is only in the high 80s here but it will pull my BB from 210* down to the 160* thermostat, idling in the driveway with the AC on and 8 mins.

Still have fan setup? Can you send pics? Is the setup strong enough to cool my 72 with a 350, bored .030 over, and mild crane cam? I live in Florida and cooling is just about ALWAYS an issue,year round. I'm currrently running a flex fan plus an electrical fan from Summit, in the summer sitting at idle you can watch the Temp rise and and I do not have AC in the car. Let me know

FLX 295? That setup is 27.5" wide x 4" thick.
Better measure your A-Arms carefully. There's only about 24" between them and they are about 1-1/2" from the radiator. They will interfere with this fan setup.

Dual 13 inch Spals with BeCool rad. I always like to run 2 fans in case one dies Although I have never had to turn the 2nd one on yet ( I have a switch for 1 or 2 fans in my ashtray) it is also wired directly to the battery through a 120Amp DC keyed battery disconnect switch ( also in ashtray ) for those hot days when everything fails
