Got your set of ply tires on all four corners too.?
I'm pretty sure You 1951 panel was not stock with that 350
Stop with the "Keeping thing Old school" Nonsense
sure you can make a Shroud to fit that fan on that frame for that motor
or stop the madness and hookup an electric two speed fan
Fan and controller under $75

My question was not which type of fan I should run. I've built numerous cars using both electric and mechanical fans respectively and I've found the mechanical much more to my liking for several reasons, primarily simplicity and it's cousin, reliability. Too many electric fan failures of thermostats, wiring or motors. And by "old school" I mean 1960s or '70s era technology, not 1940s - no power anything, no electric anything. However I don't want to let this question digress into a mechanical vs electric fan debate; my mind is made up. You build your car and I'll build mine, thank you. If however you have some actual experience with a low fan on an AD radiator and can answer my question, I'm all ears.
