292 Fan blade question
I put a mustang radiator in my 58 f100 with the stock 292. The stock fan is a 4 blade 9 1/2". Question is; is there a smaller 4 or 5 blade fan that I can use to miss the lower radiator hose. If not I will have to lower the radiator a little. Thanks in advance

There is no fan for any Ford truck (or car) made after 1952 that's 9 1/2" in diameter - none.
Smallest car fan blade: 4 blade / 15 1/16" diameter = 1960/69 Falcon 6 cylinder / 1965/70 Mustang 6 cylinder.

fan
I think Vern is saying the radius is 9-1/2" which makes the diameter 19".
I'm pretty sure the car Y-block fans are the same diameter. Either trim the tips (hard to get equal & same balance), lower the radiator or buy an aftermarket flex-fan.
Good luck
