It might very well make a difference. This is just the shape of an
aircraft propeller; that is it has pitch and acts as an airfoil. In
addition it has an aerodynamic shape for reduced drag in only one
orientation.
Does a B have an electric fan? My snake does. In fact, the manual says
that the fan attached to the water pump is to be removed after the
engine is broken in. My car came without this fan. Until I rebuilt the
engine in the late '60s, I never had any overheating problems. But the
rebuild involved a lot of heat producing mods like a hotter cam,
increased CR, bigger valves, et cetera.
