What type of pistons and do you know how much skirt clearance you have ? I knew a guy once built a puller A it ran good but would lock up when worked. Turned out the big nut carb. that was rebuilt was not done right and the extra fuel inlet hole was plugged makeing it run lean. Your pistons may be too tight ?

Sounds like something's obstructing coolant flow. Remove the thermostat and try again. That done, I'd question whether the right head gasket is installed.
