Engine cooling questions, Pictures added Options

[GaroldShaffer]

I have 73 with a 2.7 /4 engine. I use this car mainly for just autocrossing and I want to do some track day stuff, but I need to get the oil temps down before I do that. Let me start by saying I bought this car setup like this and I do not know who built the engine. I have a oil cooler mount up front with a electric fan that is pulling air through the cooler, covered with shroud and vent through the floor. The floor vents are just the BIG floor plugs removed.

Engine is full of oil, cooling fan for oil cooler on, running temps can hit 230+. Yesterday at an autocross temps hit 250+ (I would say 280) and this is with a just and 80 degree day. I do have a co driver and the event was fasted pace so there was no real time to shut down between runs so the car ran for over and hour. When the oil temps went above 250 I did shut it down and did not run anymore runs for the day. I know that is too hot and do not want to damage the heads.

I will post pictures of my oil cooler setup later today. I know I need to get the temps down and was thinking adding a electric fan in the engine bay to help push air more air over the engine may help, yes? Maybe need a bigger cooler up front also?

To be honest I would really like to pull this engine and drop a /6 in there, but is not in the budget right now.
