<VV> alternate fans

And these sort of fans generate so little static pressure, they'll have very little effect. Also, no computer fan I know of can withstand this kind of heat.

The articles stated that fans could not overcome the back pressure, the force of 
the fan reflected off the engine surface and back up.  My question would small 
fans (3 to 4 inch computer type fans) fitted in rectangular frames added inside 
the bottom shrouds near the shroud's exhaust doors (aimed out), create a vacuum 
and aid drawing more air from the top fan through/around the engine.

No, what you need is a blower which is what they originally have.  A fan doesn't 
provide near enough pressure to get enough air through the engine.
