Car getting real hot....
Partner you may think that the engine is the same as it was before you rebuilt it, but the fact is appears you replaced the majority of the major components.
Heads, cam & lifters, crankshaft and related parts I dont know if you had any machining done to the block, hell, just changing the heads and head gaskets could/will alter your original C/R having a dramatic effect on cooling.
You just did not do a Dupont rebuild of your engine you changed it alot.
I'm not surprised that it performs differently.

Oh I agree with you 100%, reason I wrote what I did is (Can't recall the name now) is someone asked if I had rebuilt the engine or thought it was a rebuilt and maybe I just had the gaskets or some seals changed so I explained it was a rebuilt, completely. Aside from the pistons, everything else was changed, from the head gaskets to the seals and everything in between were changed over, I just can't understand why it now rises up so fast. That's all.
As for the mechanics to the car, I'm no expert, like I said, I have to rely on the mechanic that I have and although he is a great mechanic, I just think he is not too invested in mopars.
They have a few cars running 9s.on the street and about 10 yrs ago won that Street outlaw they had in Toronto with a mopar running high 8s but overall it's a Ford Chevy place and that's where they are at ....the mopars are second fiddle.
Believe me when I say it is hard to find a good Mopar mechanic up here (aside from one they call Greedy) so I'm always getting the best info here and just having them do it to the best of their ability now.
Even my six pack that lately had some issues has brought me to the point of just swapping for a 4 barrel and bypassing the headaches of hearing, remove it, mopar crap, etc.. but I like it and it's still on.
I just thought maybe my water pump may have given out ? I'm going to go ahead and order a 7 blade fan from the same radiator company and change the cap for now, see if that helps.
After that I'll go with the shroud.
I feel this shroud is as complex as the Shroud of Turin. Is it, is it not. In the end seems only Jesus knows the true answer of the shroud problem.
Thanks guys.
