A flex fan with full blades that don't stick way out in front should work though.
The clearance isn't a lot on this 56 235 that my students and I put in a 53 3100 back 30 years ago.
I used a V8 pulley and pressed the hub back on the shaft and cut the shaft off.
This photo after it had sat in their shed long enough to be a barn find.

The blue ricky racer fan is the one that I had on the 48 for 15 years or more. It just did not pull enough air at and idle to write home about. the other one is one I picked up at a swap meet and plan to run on the 292. It has a lot more blade and is well built. Both are 15 inch. The big blades have about 1 inch more depths than the other ones do.
I still may run an electric fan (s) as the late sixes water pump and fan is somewhat lower on the engine than the early sixes are.
