Does anyone know if this fan would fit with the stock shroud?

They sell several differing sizes I believe, so you should find one that fits. I have one on my 67. A 10,000rpm rated flex fan is hard to beat for like $25-30. The prices have gone up recently though, along with everything else [>:]

I'd have to actually go measure, I can't recall for sure. 14" maybe? Possibly 16? Close to the stock size. Even turning slow at idle with the UDP's that thing still moves a crapload of air though

Some, yes. The blades flatten out at higher rpm so there's less drag, but it takes resistance to cause them to flatten. I like them because there's no clutch to go bad, very simple
