Am running the stock type fan and cooling setup on a 66 Beaumont that sees basically strip only use with 180 thermostat.

Would running a 160 thermostat or even no thermostat be more effective at cooling the engine between rounds ?

keep in mind the stat only controlls opening temp when the rest of the cooling system is not efective enough to modulate the stat
thus it will just stay open like a house air conditioner that cant keep the home cool the thermostst will stay on ...in easy terms
