1981 raw water 318s thermostats

I have a 1981 F32 with 318 raw water cooled engines. Searching for 140 degree thermostats which are impossible to locate., Due I run them without a thermostat? I see they still manufacture a 160 degree thermostat but think engines will run too hot.
Any ideas or suggestions
Merry Christmas

Re: Oil Filter Gasket Leak

I agree better to buy a fram or other quality filters and not from Walmart. I believe there are different qualities sold at discount stores. Just like tools. The same tool you buy at Home depot is a different quality than same tool at a retail store. Not worth the dollar or two you save upfront
