That should still be OK. The thing is, you don't really need to replace the thermostat with a cooler one. Logic with older cars said that you had summer and winter thermostats. Much of that was as a result of marginal antifreeze/coolant properties. The modern antifreeze is very good at keeping the car within the correct range. Especially with your 3 row radiator, you should be in business even with the factory 'stat. If all else fails, it runs wide open anyway. It doesn't necessarily give any better cooling, it just keeps things at a cooler temp and gives you a little more range on the temperature gauge.
