The gauge in my 5.0 bird runs at the 1/2 way mark. had it running yesterday. (idling)
I had a E-250 with a 5.0 that always ran at the edge of hot all it's life. Didn't matter what the temp out side was.

On my 5.0 bird the temp gauge is normally right above 1/2 way mark on long distances (over an hour) and short runs (45 mins or so) just below.
