with no thermo and a fan on constantly you obvious have a major issue
Verify the water pump is working correctly and that it is spinning the correct direction
Put a pressure tester on it and see if its leaking into the chambers (head gasket issues)
If all checks out then you have a flow restriction somewhere, could be as simple as a clogged radiator or a blocked passage on the heads/intake from an improper gasket alignment or incorrect gasket
