Hey Mr. Alan,
Ever get a temp reading besides the gauge? Would hate to see you go through all this trouble and expense, like I did, only to find your temp sender ($10) was bad. I figured this out after I bought a new radiator, water pump, hoses, etc..
I don't run a shroud and car maxes out at 195' in city traffic on hot days. Pretty much daily driven too.
If you check the upper radiator hose with a temp gun after car is completely warmed up it should tell you close to your temp. Worth a try before you go "all in" (like I usually do). And you get to keep a useful and neccesary tool.
