The 155 main jet is more than big enough, being that it had only 37 venturis,
but I would hope that the dyno trip was able to determine whether the 180 air jet was not making it lean up high.
That engine runs tight deck height, so needs less ignition timing.
I would begin with a total figure of 28 degrees.
That is worth some heat.
Most of the castings on the 044s have a lot of casting flash,
so some careful action with a small drill can clear these areas for a little more through-flow.
Make sure the lower cylinder tin is attached to the upper tin to prevent back flow when the car is moving.

Lately I have been removing the breather from he left rocker cover.
It is full of oil at anything above 3000rpm,
so I cap that one and add one to the case.(two total in case)
My own engine has no vents in the covers at all.
Nothing related to the temp prob, but a good way to stop oil all over your engine bay.
Lastly, those fans flow heaps of air,
so provided the pulley ratio is correct, and the fan is supplied with plenty of fresh air,
it should be able to be used with good results.
Fat Performance has used those style of shrouds and fans for years and their 3lt type 4s run for thousands of miles through the desert.
Last resort would be to move or enlarge the cooler,
but some times this is the only solution,
so it may be in the car's future.
