What kind of price can I expect to pay for it.

the fan is 22" by 18.5" by 6.25" deep. The motor is offset slightly so in most cases you can simply slide the fan over enough to clear the water pump pulley if the clearance is close.
You can also trim the shroud approximately 1" to get even more room, so in your case the fan should clear easily, but may need to be trimmed.
Due to their popularity they have gone up in recent years, but they are still the best solution I've seen. They are right at $200 from Rock Auto (Motorcraft RF64) and you'll find them for a few bucks cheaper on Ebay. Just make sure it's the 97-later fan as it's a higher rated fan; the earlier Mark VIII fan is not the same, although it would be plenty for almost all applications.
