I'm going to install an OEM Block heater before this winter so I'm all good on that front!
I currently have a Upper and Lower side grill block in place and the hottest my engine has been is 208F.

It'll really vary from engine to engine. In my last car, the thermostat started opening at 180F, was fully open at 192, the fan would come on at 200, and it would be "seriously overheating" at 220F. Anything above 200F and it would pull progressively more ignition timing.
