4-6-7-fan blade

[Jack Cheek <jcheek@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

hi all
is there a set rule on how many fan blades should be used 4 blade 6 blade or 7 blade .
also 160 or 180 or no thermostat.
also how far away should the fan be from the radiator when using  a fan shroud.
im thinking about using a 7 blade fan with a  fan shroud with a 160 thermostat using a 3 core radiator.
or is it (what ever it takes to keep from running hot.
im putting together a 440 bored .030 over with a max wedge top end.
i know city driving can be the worse for getting hot.
what is the ideal temp. for motors.
thanks jack
