Tim,

My 72 6 has a 13 blade fan. It is the red one. I believe the 8 blade is yellow 
and was fitted prior to 72. If you fit this fan it will pull a lot of air, 
more than the stock 3 and even the 4 fan.

As far as working with the Moss kit I think you should give them a call.

My 58 3 has the TR4 4 blade fan which works good for me. No overheating even 
last week in 90+ heat.

Make sure you fit something to direct the air flow into the radiator if you 
have a wide mouth 3. I believe TRF has a kit for some sort of radiator cowl.
