Question NewbeeinUTown,MS

I have been a Mustang fanatic since my very first car a 90 model Stang. Me and my wifey just bought a 1996 Mustang with the 3.8L v6 automatic to fix up for our little girl. We are having problems with overheating and need some help. We have replaced a cracked waterpump, put a new thermostat in, and flushed the radiator. It is still getting hot even with the air conditioner off and heat on. Anybody got ideas on what I should try next?
