The heater core having an effect indicates that the cooling system is not removing heat quickly enough. But, with all the new stuff you put in, the problem is not so obvious.

Is the coolant a 50-50 antifreeze and distilled water mix?

Have you "burped" the cooling system to remove air bubbles?

Are you running the 87C thermostat?

Sounds like a fan clutch problem, is it possible that the new one is a dud?

That all I can think of just now.

Good Luck,

Bob
