The fiberglass engine fan you are refering to was made by Flex-A-Lite and should be the 18 3/8" wide model(for big block), part # 780. Generally ones Motion used had the white center section with green blades.Motion also sold a "topcat" kit that included this fan as part of the package. Flex-a-lite also had another model that was geared for high rpm racing and had a white center section with orange blades called "HPX".
Good luck on finding either one new. Used ones are $1-$5 at the swaps and are usually garbage with cracks/gouges. etc. I do have a NOS #780 with green blades that I will trade if you ever run across a new 17" one. My Mustang has a 17" one on it now but it should be replaced. The 18" I have will work but is closer to the rad hose than I would like. I have been looking for these fans for 12-13 years at swaps/hundreds of want ads etc and this is the only new one in this size I have ever found. Of all the old speed parts I have located over the years this fan was the hardest to find.

The Mallory catalogs that I have do not refer to those part numbers. May be newer model etc. Is it a dual point? Does it have the heavy brass condensor on the outside of the housing? Two piece cap?
