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.
