Your potential problem is
simply not having enough coefficient of thermal coupling between oil and
water. If you don't, none of the proposed changes will work.
Another factor: If the thermostat is throttling the water flow through the
rad due to too much water cooling, the water at the cold end of the rad is
*really* cool. The oil cooler at that end will provide all the cooling the
oil could ask for IF there is sufficient thermal transfer capability.
Just
my opinion but the proposed plumbing changes would be a waste of precious
time.

I suspect you're absolutely correct
Tracy. I really liked the C&R racing radiator, because they had a
nice heat exchanger built in. It was meant to be a real heat
exchanger, and not a cheesy V8 oil cooler like the ones that are in most
(including Howe) radiators. I hate to get too deep into speculation
until I find out if it's actually working or not, but I'll have quite a dilemma
if it isn't going to
work.
Thanks,
Rusty
