the bottom of the radiator may be stopped up on it,that will cause it to do this,if the coolant doesn't flow freely through the engine it will over heat, try having it cleaned and flushed out,that will usually stop one if that's the problem,you really need to have it diagnosed to be sure about it,good luck

if everything else has been replaced, the coolant was bled properly after you had the system open, it isn't burning teh coolant, and teh belt is routed the right direction, you need to replace the radiator. was the system clean? it could be corroded, i have also seen problems with engine casting sand the was trapped in the engine clog radiator cores. you will be able to feel cold spots in the radiator or see them with an infrared thermometer. make sure you check the blet routing. if you don't route it right you will spin the water pump backwards and the coolant doesn't circulate.

I assume by everything,you mean everything..
So if it s still overheating,replace the radiator.
Only thing left right?
Seriously,how much can you throw at this...
Take it to a shop/mechanic and have it diagnosed.
your throwing money away on parts that aint fixing it.
this could have an engine problem...
Headgasket,intake gasket,head,block etc...
doubt you changed the engine...
Maybe it is the radiator but for Gods sake,spend the diag. money and find out for sure...
