I agree with ford38v8, you don't have a problem to fix. 3/4 hot on a stock gauge is 180 F, normal operating temperature for a flathead V8. What you have is an engine with wear, but not worn so bad it needs a rebuild. If there is any oil pressure at idle, and no bad sounds, then drive with confidence.
