Tomas Gunnarsson had what I think is a great idea.

Instead of running the oil at full pressure to the front and back, 
install a separate low pressure oil pump and just circulate the oil from 
the oilpan to the cooler and back into the pan.

You could drive the oilpump from one of the driveshaft flanges. I guess 
a single stage drysump pump and a gilmer belt drive would work.
