Question Whats and acceptable water temp??

HI guys and new to the Club Cobra crowd. I just got an Everett-Morrison car which was purchased in '93 and assembled the following year. It has a 460 with a toploader and the previous owner said it had an overheating problem. For all of you guys with the 385 series engines, what kind of temps should I expect? Our radiator is angled like a , excuse me for saying it, corvette. I noticed the previous owner had the fan PUSHING air towards the front of the car and I switched polarity on the wiring to get it to PULL into the engine compartment like it should. I ran it a little and it seems to want to stay between 200 to 210 somewhere. Is this normal or to be expected or is this excessive? Any comments are welcome. Thanks again.
