1981 raw water 318s thermostats

Post by fpawn »

I have a 1981 F32 with 318 raw water cooled engines. Searching for 140 degree thermostats which are impossible to locate., Due I run them without a thermostat? I see they still manufacture a 160 degree thermostat but think engines will run too hot.
Any ideas or suggestions
Merry Christmas
