Oil in the coolant or visa versa is never good, you are not lucky as h-ll. Motor after running is not always caused by low octane, it can be a sign of tuning issues or more serious problems.
You probably have a blown head gasket, continuing to operate it in this condition is causing more problems. Do a compression test and see which cylinder(s) are low. Fix your motor and tune it correctly. Wire your fans using a relay triggered by the ignition switch and eliminate your fan troubles.
On a street driven car mechanical fans and water pump are always your best choice, any perceived horse power gains using electric is quickly overcome by the alternators added current load.
I saw last night on fb about John. The world sure lost a great one. I'm going to miss his humor, advice, and perspective from another portion of the world. Rest in Peace Johnboy.
