Thank you for your insight. So, my car does not have the oil cooler, but instead as a plate mounted on the same bolt patters. On that plate is mounted a 'modern' oil filter which has been completely bypassed....so in other words the only oil filtration seems to be the little basket in the bottom of the oil pan. So, I'm wondering if its even possible to find one and assuming I don't, what risk am I running? I would like to find an oil filter for the car though.

So, combining what everyone is saying, it sounds like a course of action might be to start the car again and check various locations with an IR thermometer. Then assuming it shows inconsistencies remove the water pump and or water jacket to actually see the condition of the equipment?

Thanks to everyone for giving this some thought and taking the time to provide me with information and insight.
