Thomas, I replied directly to your email, but it bounced. Thus this attempt.

Hi Tom,
Yes, I'm going the electric fan route. Mounting is a challenge!  While I
have the radiator out I'm also attending to some other things, so it will be
several weeks before I can say how the conversion works out. So check back
again later for results, or call me anytime to check on progress or discuss
details.
Cheers,
Jim

I cannot supply the fan you seek since I have only one for my 59.
I am interested to know what you intend to do for fan cooling on the car
without   the  blades.
I have have long been tempted to remove the blades and add an electric fan
plus thermo swtich.
I would do this for power gain (5 -10 Hp goes into the fan) and better
cooling - the engine fan runs slow when cooling is needed most (idling at a
stop light for example); and it runs fast when its needed least - (at high
vehicle speed).
 
 Is this what you  are up to?
