Default 1985 5.0 MFI Operating Temperature Range

What Is the normal operating temperature range for my motor? I bought the truck and it has been converted to electric fans. The fans were hard wired into the fuse block. I want to put in a relay and temp sensor I just don't know the normal operating range.

Depends on what thermostat you have. 180 to190 anything under 170 is too cold.

Ford early fuel injection means
It should have come with a 185-192 in it
Ford parts will give you a 192 I believe
