Considering the engines age, there is good chance the cooling system has corrosion that is blocking the necessary passages needed for cooling the engine. Pull the head covers off and look at the condition of these passages. When you replaced the thermostat, what did the old stat look like? Because if it was in bad condition, such as corroded, that is a good indicator of how the cooling system looks.
