ok, update, I re-installed the block, and it feels fairly warm after running on my cpu and my temps were still in the area of 129-131F at idle. I then ran it without the heater core, and it was the same temps. It didnt go down or up. I have a feeling it is the block and pump. But what i dont get is that I read that article from UnaClocker, and he made it sound like it was amazing! he said he had it installed on a 1600 and it works "GREAT", not really that great in my humble opinion

. Can you guys give me an idea of a decent block and pump that would work better than this? I appreciate all the help!!
