Jamo if your normal engine temp is around 170 to 175 and your "carbed" I wouldn't loose any sleep over it, ha ha.

Hey, it's not like the Cobras are going to see 100K miles. You will get "bored" with the motor long before that kind of mileage comes up and swap it or re-build it anyway!

Might be a different story with your "tow" vehicle now! I'm EFI, I think my motor will run "better" and live longer at 195 than at 160-170.
