Although I would probably prefer to run a thermostat, my water pump housing lost the ability to house a thermostat when it got chopped down to size.

Depending on how your pump housing was cut down, this might not be a good idea.  You'd have to make sure you always had flow, so perhaps a restrictor is a better idea.  The size of the restrictor will be trial and error, since it will be dependent on your radiator cooling capability.  I couldn't get the water temp over 130 without a thermostat, but my radiator is pretty huge, and obviously isn't absorbing any heat from the oil like it's supposed to.
