A friend brought me some electric fans by, from what I can tell by part number there off a Ford transit connect van, no fan module box but they do work when wired up.  Trimmed the shroud a bit and there on.

Better picture, yes little bulky, but Freebees!!!  and I did not modify anything but the fan shroud to fit, so if I want slim ones later, no problem!!  I research, and they flow like 3600 cfm!!  I am spaced off core support about 1/2in, so I still have some room.

might be hard to tell, but I heated and modified the heater tube to fit around the electric choke since I am using a factory intake for now, I have an extra straight heater tube for later when I get an aluminum intake, which it should clean then.  I did not want to get long heater hoses, I like the idea of the heater tube.

I ran some fuel line and put new power steering lines on, going to try another start this week, and check timing.

Not to be a kill-joy since I love what you are doing. BUT I see some bends in rubber hoses that are too tight and are asking to kink down and choke off the fuel and the breather.

Give it another look.
