Using more oil cooler to further cool the oil also reduces the water temps.
Oil higher than 160 degrees cuts into power. So oil at 160 max and water at 180
max is the target.The NAPA store has a catalogue of cold side car air
conditioning radiators with dozens of shapes to choose from. TIG on some
aircraft fittings and add either more water, or more oil cooling. I have also
seen heater cores from school buses used as primary water radiators in smaller
race cars.
Check with techwelding@comcast.net for any
custom coolers of any size or shape you might imagine. In the engine tent
at Sun&Fun each year.

Any thoughts on using the
Mazda oil cooler for additional water cooling; i.e., connecting it up as big
heater core, using the 3/4” block outlet and returning to the suction side
of water pump?
I have temporarily plumbed
in an actual heater core (8”x6”) but am not too confident in its durability

I've read
multiple accounts of successful use of the heater as extra cooling capacity,
and heard another account just this weekend. But all require cool air flow
through the heater core to remove the heat. How do you move air through that
core?
