take the lower and upper radiator hose off...drain the coolant and take the upper hose that u dis-connected from the water neck and blow into it with the radiator cap on...you should be able to blow through it with no problem...if so rule the radiator out.
as far as the heater core. same thing both hoses off and blow through one of them and cooland should come out the other...if so rule that out.
If you do the above 2 things and everything is ok then the clog has to be associated somewhere before the heater core and after the water neck entrance.
Thermostat installed correctly?
When temps are above 180 can you open the radiator cap and see the water moving around?
