Speedway and Summit have 6 Volt fans, IMO it would help to also have a shroud. I hand a like experience with my 40 Merc and 46 Ford coupe. I first
removed the thermostats which helped, then added a 6 blade fan. that solved
the over heating problem, ran at 190 degrees in traffic, 195 at the light, and
165 on the highway. Never did try the shroud.
