Almost always right at 200F, HO 351W SVO. I switch manual fan on when I start the engine, no matter what the ambient temp. Thinking about replacing the 50% coolant/water with 100% distilled water and a pump lubricant. Was also contemplating installing an oil cooler but probably won't unless the temps go higher.
I talked to several old Hot Rodders (60's era but still involved) and they say not to worry if it stays in that range, which was really my thought before talking to them.
