Puller fans with shroud mounting is most efficient, but that means removing the
original fan. Front/push mounting can block normal flow. The cable tie
attachment is quick and easy, but can cause eventual damage to the radiator.
MGBs use a front mounted pusher fans with brackets. You might consider this
type of arrangement. The MG auxiliary fans have a more classic look and might
fit nicely with custom fabricated brackets. Cobras use a similar arrangement.
I don't know how compatible this would be with the standard grill and opening
of a TR2. I don't think there is room between the grill and radiator for a
modern low profile fan.
I have a Griffin aluminum radiator with a puller fan and shroud, all purchased
as a unit from Griffin. Not inexpensive at $700, but it's a quality setup.
There are less expensive (cheaper) options.
Good luck,
