Car running too cold

i got a 180 thermostat and my 318 runs at 160 degrees constant also my heater output is weak. Should I just run a 195 and maybe it will reach 180? I have a three row radiator . I know running below 180 is not good for the engines life


I had that problem, but only in the winter. I put a piece of cardboard in front on the radiator that blocked about half the airflow. Car warmed right up t normal. I see truckers restricting the airflow on there big rigs when its cold out, so I followed suit.
