    Any chance that five blade fan is one of those Flex Fans with what looks like stainless steel flexible blades? If so , they are quite noisy at higher RPM's

    Falcon/ Mustang 6cyl fans are staggard/ small, and use a standard bolt pattern, 1 of them might work, if you loose the bid on the stocker. they don't make too much noise.
    You don't know what you've got til it's gone

    Pull off the fan and go for a quick ride at those speeds to see if it goes away. A buddy of mine had a '49 Plymouth (stock) and it didn't like to go that fast without making some noises, as I remember.

    But pulling the fan off will be the proof.
