Default Hot Engine

My 49 Ford with a flathead V-8 runs on the hot side after about a 30 minute ride. It never reaches the full hot on the gauge but it is closer to the hot than the cold side of the gauge. Is this the way most flathead V-8s run or am I going to have to correct something to cool it down. New purchase and was told the engine was rebuilt.
