[Fot] Was: Oil Cooler or Oil filter first? Now how to IDflowoutt he adapter?

I should have expected this. I use the right pedal as aggressive as I’m allowed on city streets. I rarely get passed on the Interstate. Cute story, coming north on I-77 after the VTR meet in NC a few years ago I stopped at a rest area, After using the facilities there was a fellow admiring the car and said to me I didn’t think these cars could go that fast. Apparently I had passed him in the mountains of WV. Mountains are fun.
Thanks and Merry Christmas to all.

Interesting discussion, I have a mildly warmed up TR4A street car. D cam, 87mm, .100 milled head and lightened flywheel. No oil cooler but I do use the larger capacity aluminum oil pan. My issue is getting the oil hot enough. Stock radiator with a Richard Good radiator shroud. Even at highway speeds my oil does not get much above 180 / 190 when ambient temperatures are below 75 degrees. 180 degree thermostat installed. Driving around town the oil never gets above 180. Ambient temperatures above 75 allows the oil to get to 220 at highway speeds. I guess I could go to a higher degree thermostat but I’d risk overheating in street traffic. I have an electric fan set to come on at 190. 
Any suggestion on how to get the oil hotter? I run 20W/50 Brad Penn oil.
