Hmm overheating at idle... never putting the car on the road, JUST idle... have you pulled the block drain, and checked to see if it's full of rust? where are you located? I've got a pair of good radiators... (engines, cars, whatever...) the NA 617 is a PAIN IN THE REAR to get all the air out of the head, be SURE you have properly drained the coolant from the block drain on the starter side of the block, and filled from the upper radiator hose with the car pointed nose up as high as possible... there is a vent on top of the thermostat housing usually, there has to be ZERO air at that point on this motor...
