Its a 1949 239 cu in 8ba motor, bored 4o over, aluminum heads dual 94 and 3 row aluminum radiator and NO shroud. So if I put a shroud and leave the 4 blade stock fan will it keep it under 210 degrees in traffic. Or will I need a 5 blade and a shroud too

Don't know if this has been done. Want to convert my 49 F1 from a 3 spd on floor to a 4 or 5 speed. I've read the post on the T5 conversion but having a helluva time locating a 83 -86 5 spd. Anyone tried a newer model 5 spd say 93 - 2000 5 spd borg/warner trans ? seem like a lot of newer T5...

any suggestions on a replacing the stock fan with a flex or 5 or 6 blades for better cooling? I have a aluminum 3 row radiator but gets hot in traffic 210 degrees no shroud guess i would have to fab one unless someone makes a aftermarket
