Are you sure your engine builder put the head gasket on the correct direction? FE gaskets can be installed backwards. The engine will run ok but it will overheat quickly.

You should be able to see a little tab on the front of the engine, at the head/block mating point, near the exhaust. If you don't see any gasket there, be suspect

You might want to do some pressure tests on the sytem and cylinders. The video of the car running and coolant puking isn't right. You might have a cylinder leak.

The Hurricane radiators were built by PRC
