Run the heater supply hose (hot) to your additional heater core, then to the regular heater core. If the additional cooling reduces the need for the regular radiator to provide cooling then the thermostat will just close up some. Heaters are generally bypassing the thermostat anyway, which is why you normally should not turn the heater on until you get decent movement of the temp gauge.
Garages help when you leave the heater off and drive away immediately after starting the engine.
