Seems a bit high for a non Emission engine. I would go with a 180 and fix that radiator issue. My 72 racer runs a 175 and has a 4 core radiator with no mechanical fan (just an electric fan). Recent flushing of the system would be a consideration too.

My stock 2.0 with new radiator and heater core only gets up to 180 i think on a 95 degree day.  I need to change up from the 180 to 195.  I never get heat on chilly days.
