The fan mod went in back in about 2009 so I seriously doubt that will be the issue, the first sign of any fluctuation albeit only minor ie you could detect on the guage when the t/stat would open and close was after doing the engine swap but at the same time I had to put in a new temp sensor as it broke but it was minor not like now, if I have the AC on which means the fans are both on full speed the temp stays around the 70 mark, if I leave the AC off the fans run on low speed the temp will eventually come up higher but still not quite to where it used to.
I am thinking it may be the t/stat, I still have the original from my engine even though it is at least 8.5yrs old but was always stable and I still have the t/stat from the new motor which is ??yrs old so it will be interesting to swap them back in and see what happens....
