Russ,
I have the exact same plastic shroud on my '55. When I had it installed one of the old guys that worked on my truck told me the fan blades should only go INTO the shroud 1/3 to 1/2 their width other wise the fan would not be very efficient at cooling. From your photo it's hard to see but it looks like it might be "in" too far.
