350 runs at 160

[1911a1]

Finally got around to installing a aftermarket temp gauge. It is a mechanical gauge though not a very expensive one.

My 1968 C10 truck runs at 160 degrees. The truck runs pretty good. It is a mildly modded 350. Started with a GM Mexican new 350 long block. Installed the Summit iron fulie heads. They were supposed to be 73 CC. They have heart shaped chambers. I used a thin gasket sprayed with that copper stuff to be sure they sealed. I forgot the flat tappet cam specs but around 470- 80 lift with 1:6 roller rockers. RPM air gap, Holley 770, hooker long tubes. Hugh’s 2300 stall. Turbo 400. Shift kit installed.

Anyhow is that a little cool to be running at 160 if the gauge is accurate?
