I noticed any spirited driving in 77+ will increase oil temp over 212. Which is fine, but if it warms up, I will get over 220. I'd like to see between 195-210.

Only problem is, how to keep it warm in spring time and early summer. Unfortunately the thermostatic valves are always partially open and blocking in cooler months would be a necessity.

Too bad there isn't a modulating blocker door for that purpose.
If this is truly the case you will need a 34 row. The 19 or 24 won't cut it. Even with a 34 row I can get to 240 real easy. Keeping your oil temp at 195 to 210 is not very realistic. You will get hotter. Keeping it below 250 is more realistic especially if you are in the upper RPM levels a lot.
