Thanks for the reply Ed. When I had the heads off I removed the freeze plugs and steam cleaned the block out really well as it was somewhat cruddy.
Anyway I have good news, I pulled and checked the thermostat and found that it was only opening about a 1/32 of an inch at 185 degrees (Brand new NAPA stat) made in you know where. Anyways, I replaced it and refilled works great now. It took a little more coolant when I filled it back up so I may have been fighting some air in the system also.

Have a good one!
