Thermostats set the low end of the temp range, and the amount allowed  
to flow through them can have an effect on the top end--depending on  
how well they flow while open.

In Healeys I've always found that you can't flow too much though the  
radiator. It will always be maxed out and wanting more. Here in CA I  
don't have to wait long for the engine to get up to good running temp  
even without a thermostat. Modern or extra cores certainly help.

I run a pressurized system with a recovery tank.
