Fan for 460 swap

I think I’m going to need a fan for my 460. I’m keeping my old 84 shroud which originally held a 5 blade 19.5” fan. Should I switch to a 7 blade 19.25 inch from a 70s Lincoln or something else? I want to keep the clutch style but don’t absolutely have to.

You will at a minimum need a shroud for a 460 due to the engine's length and height.

I have a fan shroud and fan from a mid 90s E350 with a 460. The mounting holes appear to be the same spacing but the shroud is significantly “slimmer” so it leaves more room for the engine. Would one from a van work?

I do not think a van shroud will work. Van rads are top/ bottom tanks and are more square in dimensions
