230° is to high. My first thought was you are missing the fan shroud. These old fords do not cool well if the shroud is missing.
But you say it goes up to 230° and only stays there for a minute then goes back down to 180°. That would indicate the thermostat was sticking; but since that is new; I feel you might have a partial blockage in the head or block restricting the water from reaching the rear where the temperature gauge hooks to.
Some questions........... Have you ever taken out the thermostat and checked its operation in a pot of water on the stove??? Have you ever run some kind of cleaner threw the block??? Do you have a fan shroud installed??? Have you ever checked the water temperature in another spot to see if that reads the same as the gauge???
