"if what i read is true, it seems having 170 water temp is worse for the
engine than 260 oil if the oil is fresh."

All the Ford literature indicates that engine wear is minimal at 180F; so
your statement is correct.

If you still maintain 50 to 75 psi oil pressure even at 260F; you should be
OK.

An oil cooler would be a bonus.
