SO, I'll need some type of electrical fan (Mark VIII) to help out the Mechanical Fan...to keep it cool....
Maybe I'll get one shortly just to satisfy myself....before I mount the body..

Thanks all, some very good info and thanks to ByronRACE and cycleguy55 for references for parts!

Based upon what I see in your video ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JTcaeBe7fAg ) it appears you have lots of room to install an electric puller. You could pull the shroud, install the fan, and re-install the shroud. You'd have the cooling you need for crawling in traffic and the mechanical fan to keep air moving through the engine compartment at all times.

Good luck.
