others tell me dont stress it -Big blocks run hot.
This doesn't make it right.... Big blocks DO NOT run hot, unless your cooling system isn't up to par. Example, my engine doesn't go much above 175* even in traffic and 90+ degree days. I run a 160* thermostat, Aliminum 2 core rad.,clutch fan with a shroud, stock water pump. Nothing exotic.   
I agree, I have a sb and a bb both with stock cooling systems and they run 180 even at idle. At 210 something is lacking.
