regarding shrouds- the advice i got from western suburbs radiators (who did my 3-core in the RA40 was to ensure the shroud at hte rear covered the back of the radiator so the fan(s) only pulled air thru the core - not from open surrounds.
wilbo and norbie can attest to the abilty of my radiator to take in a lot of heat (.. say from a red hot turbo and manifold) and pull it out the core in a gale of hot, acrid air  . The shroud is only 30mm or so off the back of the rad but completely encloses it and has hi-temp foam/rubber to improve sealing.
fwiw: some newish merc's have two fans infront of the rad - the shroud i saw was integral to the grill (which was attached to the bonnet) - they looked very thin.

I'd be mounting the fans flush to the radiator, as i cannot make a shroud, my choice of radiators has ment i need to make them flush and least deep possible
