7 blade clutch fan

[Gross Polluter]

I'd like to replace my 6 blade flex a lite fan with a stock style 7 blade and will likely use a heavy duty clutch.  All the providers I can find are sold out (including Roseville).  Does anyone know of another source for these, or an equivalent alternate product?

The original 215-216 fans have popular for a while,  so much so that they reproduced them.
 With them gone,  there are other 7 blades from the 72 up range,  and a 5 blade into the 90's. Suprisingly,  the 5 blade is supposed to move more air
 I have several of each, and the advantage is they have low value.
 Use one while you wait till for the reproduction to be available again.
 Hopefully it won't be another pie tin situation

@Gross Polluter I have a 215 fan that I plan to take this weekend to the local swap meet unless you're interested.

Sorry I let this thread slip, life...  Appreciate the offers for the 7-blade fans and I may yet PM you about it.

Thanks for the info! For the 5-blade alternative you mentioned, do you happen to know if it is this P/N 4140063?

Also what would be the P/N for the later model 7-blades that would work in a '70 383?

Thank you

[Mr Cuda]

The later fan is 3462149. There is another C body fan 3462186 that has even larger blades. Don't have a 5 blade handy for the number.
I'd sell a 2149 for $40, but shipping is alot. Then again, everything is alot.
Pictures compared to a 216 fan. Longer and wider blades.

If you are asking about a standard fan for a 1970 383, that would be a non-viscous fan.

Thanks for the info.  Appreciate the offer but based on what I can see online, it seems that fan is 20" rather than 18" which would mean I need a different shroud at a minimum. So unless I'm missing something about how to make it work, I'll probably pass.
