beings that you are upgrading the radiator and you want to put a lower temp thermo in there, you may create more of a problem than a fix. You want the engine to maintain 180 degrees. Too cool and the engine wont run as well. Too hot and you also lose power, but you also wear it out. I'd be concerned with keeping it warm enough. You might want to just upgrade the radiator and use a 180 degree thermo. You only want to avoid overheating it.
