<VV> alternate fans

[Gary Moore]

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.
