I'm in the same boat new radiator new thermostat your water pump new belt new temp sensor. I left the cap off of the overflow tank to watch for bubbles no Miss in the cylinder in the water in the oil.

1) how are you confirming it's over heating? I would hook up an aftermarket gauge to verify.
2) these cars must be filled and burped from the coolant crossover tube, there is a proper burping procedure to follow and can be found all over the place.
3) did it start out of nowhere or has it always done it?
4) verify that the high speed leg of the fan is working

I suggest getting one of those vacuum coolant fillers. Makes filling these cars up a breeze. No more burping needed.
I have often wondered about using one of those vaccum coolant setups on my car and just never tried it, getting ready to install a new motor in the next couple weeks so I may give that a shot.
I used it when I swapped the Whipple on. I go from the coolant reservoir and it fills it up no problem.
I never had to do that, just fill from the crossover. On average it takes me 3 burp/fill cycles to get rid of the air. I use my handheld and let the car get to 210 or so for a couple minutes then shut it down to cool, top off and repeat
