Has your engine been flushed or was it hot tanked when it was rebuilt?
I just flushed the block 2 weeks ago. I filled it with muratic acid and let is set for 24 hours. I then drained it and flushed it several times with water.

I have a thermostat that was given by someone in the club to slow down the flow back to the radiator. If that doesn't show some improvement then the head comes off and I will take a top down approach.
