El Vez,

If you haven't already, get and use a good raiator flush. If your radiator is really dirty get it roded out at a reliable radiator shop.
Also replace the thermostat...don't use the regular cheap thermostat...get a Stant Superstat they are much better for a couple of bucks difference.
I've used standard stainless flex fans and the smaller lighter aluminum version. (which I'm using now) They both perform well but I prefer the lighter Aluminum with a medium pitch. Flex fans are pretty universal. Try to match the dia. to your rad core/shroud. Measure everything and maintain about 1 inch clearence from radiator and anything else that's close to the fan.Different size spacers are available to get it spaced in relation to rad. core.
I like em.
