Fan shroud question.

With the onset of some really hot weather, I would like to add a fan shroud. My 350/260 crate with GM serpentine system runs right at the thermostat range (180) while moving. I have a new copper/brass radiator and it works really well. It can idle in 95*+ weather thru a typical drive-thru line, but the temp rises to 220*. Not a problem, but it appears that a shroud would help. Here's the the rub - The serpentine fan is 20" in diameter, way too big for my factory shroud. The fan sits almost dead center in the radiator (about 2-1/2" back from the core.)........... Have any of you guys, running the serpentine set-up, found any shroud that fits?
I don't have access to the fab. shop I used to, so any help would be appreciated.
