I decided to order a fan from Amazon, based on a few words on
the manufacturer's website:

After long reflection it crossed my mind that what they called "flange diameter"
might be the centering boss diameter. I'll find out in a week.
Hopefully this works out for you🙂
Many years ago I installed a "Flex-Fan" on a big block that was having
problems cooling during the summer. It was just a simple order from
Sears back then...
They are still around it seems and maybe they have one that might fit:

low speeds they scoop a lot more air. As the motor revs up the blades
collapse (flex) becoming more efficient.
