It seems your heater core issue has been solved, congrat's! As far as the motor running to cool, if you have a properly operating TStat, I think that is impossible. I have ran 4 core radiator's out of the Camper Specials with small block Cheby's, the motor would get up to operating temp in the winter, but when the Tstat opens, the water temp drops, repeat as neccessary

I think your guage's must be off, or your thermostat's are defective. Overheating is the number one issue usually, not running to cold.
