rev it up to 8000rpm, just kidding.. 
does your car still h ave the heat stove that comes from the exhaust manifold to the aircleaner? you might want to check and make sure that you have an airtight seal there so that all of the heat is going into your carb..
other than that, not really.. changing your thermostat won't help because temperatures will be too low..
you might be able to adjust your cold idle screw to idle the car at a lower rpm, like 1100-1200
