My engine is currently out and in pieces, so I’m wondering if I should change to the original big-hole restrictor or keep the small-hole restrictor and switch to a non-351c standard thermostat.

I have always run the 351C unique thermostat. My engine has always run
a bit hot, usually over 200, even on the highway. I noticed this
article says "This unit (restrictor plate with the tiny hole) must be
used in conjunction with a [2]standard thermostat , you cannot use the
351C unique thermostat with this block off plate."
Does anyone know if this is true? Could this be the reason my engine
runs hot? Actually my engine currently doesn't run at all due to a
destroyed rod journal. My engine is currently out and in pieces, so
I'm wondering if I should change to the original big-hole restrictor or
keep the small-hole restrictor and switch to a non-351c standard
thermostat.
