16 inch electric fan on outside of radiator on a shroud pulling air from engine compartment
That is your problem. You are trying to pull air out of the engine compartment with a fan on the outside.
You need to put the fan inside and pull air INTO the engine compartment.
They say there are no such thing as a stupid question. They say there is always the exception that proves the rule. Don't be the exception.

I would suggest a 7 blade rigid fan with a MP thermal clutch fan spaced halfway into a fairly wide schroud. other than that I am assuming your timing/mixture/pulley ratio are in the ballpark

Personally, I'm not a big fan of "pusher" fans. I much prefer "puller" type unless you are extremely space-limited.

A pusher fan in a shroud which is covering much of the radiator will NOT be as effective as a pusher without the shroud. If you're going to stick with a pusher then remove the shroud... otherwise put the fan on the engine side of the radiator with the shroud like it should have been done in the beginning.
