So I ran it today awhile and got it upto temp low speed, I ran it a couple of miles and stopped and checked the temp and it was 180-183 sitting at idle, is that normal? I don't know what temps they are suppose to run?

It'll be fine as long as it stays below boiling. Check the upper radiator hose some time to see if its got a thermostat in it.
