With the thermostatic clutch my system runs a rock-solid 207*F ,irregardless of ambient..
A direct-drive fan will prove your system works; but I'm not interested to spin one of those big steel 7 bladers to 6 or 7 Gs .. I use a T-clutch from an early 2000s Ford pick-up;got it straight from the dealer. It cycles very nicely in direct relationship to the radiator temp, which I had planned to keep at 195 with the HF stat. But apparently the HF stat likes to run a tic over 200 to 205. Between the two of them duking it out, the result is 205 to 207. Tuned for that, my little 367 seems to be quite powerful for what it is. It's always ready to race,and I never worry about the temp,in fact I rarely look at the gauge; I just drive.
