Sounds like great progress. Sounds like your engine temps are solid and in the proper range from what I can gather from other FE owners.

Next week my car is going in for:

1) dyno tune and proper carb setup. Apparently if the system is running lean, the engine will run hot. The car had never been tuned and it will be worth the $300 to see if that's compounding my issue.

2) 1/2" phenolic spacer installation

3) Re-plumbing the fuel line from the firewall to the carb with braided hose (currently have tubing) and covering it with heat shielding where applicable.

If the above does not work, I will go the electric pump and recirc to the tank route similar to Dinobyte's.

Good luck and keep up posted
