Default 99 dohc engine put into a 98 dodge neon r/t overheating

I have a 98 dodge neon r/t that i droped a 99 dohc engine into. the engine has like a 180,000 miles on it. the timing belt blew on me and the valves and timing belt were replaced.The problem is that it overheats on me!

the parts that i have changed are as follows
1. thernostat twice
2. put a used radation into it
3. i have the fans wired up so the can be on all the time
4. changed the ressivor

I am thinking that i have to chane the water pump but am hoping not??
any suggestions??
