After changing all the necessary components chances are you wont be able to fill the system with coolant completely until you have ran the engine and if possible BLEED THE SYSTEM OF AIR. Air in the system will not allow coolant to flow.
A lot of things can cause overheating, a plugged up radiator, a pinch or obstruction in one of the coolant hoses ( someone used a floor jack on my daughters car and crushed a metal coolant line that runs alongside the oil pan), sometimes if the air is not burped out of the system coolant will not flow so check to see if the coolant is flowing through the radiator ( remove the rad cap and see if the coolant is swirling or sitting still), also advanced timing will heat an engine up. Be sure the thermostat is installed correctly as well, a backwards thermostat will mess things up.
