iv had the same prob even after putting in a new motor.. DONT drive it as you will be up for alot of money as i just have spent. i would put a new thermostat in cost about $18. give it a good flush out and put new coolent in (youtube Radiator flush). also let the motor run and see if your thermo fan kicks in. i hate thermo fans, i always run mine to a switch so i can turn it on and off by myself.. give all that a try and see how you go.

iv did all that and my car aint over heating either now.. plus check see if there is milky white oil under your oil cap might have a blown head gasket. as i said before dont drive it till you fix it as it will end up costing you more money then needed.
