Try www.detroitspeedshops.com and see what they have. Just make sure you get the biggest fan that'll fit in that space.

What a day....
Just needed to replace water pump and ended up with more problems. got all the bolt off and the last one i broke Now i have to try and gt the bolt out without removing th timing cover.. hoping i can do that.. Nothing can be easy for me to fix....
One thing is if the cover has to come off i'll put some new part on her, maybe a cam, new timing chain, and some pulleys.. just have to see...

It probably broke because its so cold outside. Try soaking it in PB Blast for a day or two before you mess with it again.

can you reach the bolt easliy, an old mechanics trick is to carefully weld a nut on top of the bolt pieces that remain and then back it out with a wrench. I have had to do that on bolts that broke below the surface before. but you have to be careful when doing this trick.
I had an electric fan on my truck and could not keep it cool so I had to put the mechanical fan back on. I have a 2950 cfm electric permacool fan. Electric fans are good to be used mixed with a mechanical fan but if you do a lot of traffic sitting then the electric fans are not that good on v-8s of course this is just my thoughts
