This is from m '64 GTO. I made a custom shroud. So it is possible to have a 19" fan.

I’ve used these fans in the past with good success. They’re heavier duty than most of the aftermarket stuff. You can usually find them in different diameters. HTH

Yeah I have a stock pile of those. They are gm units with a part number.

Probably the best working fan on the planet, they pull a ton of air. Also great when you don't have room for a clutch

I stopped using them however when I started searching for HP, they are big hp suckers. I switched to clutch fans on the cars that I could. I still run 2 of those on cars with no room for a clutch.

Your fabrication skills are much better than mine but if its not too expensive I would be willing to pay you to build me one

One source....

"A fan shroud should fit the radiator, and there should be some clearance between the two. The shroud should be measured to the radiator to determine the correct size.
At least 1 inch of clearance between the fan shroud and the radiator."

Another source:
