So if there is no thermostat and you've had the radiator cleaned (rodded out), then I can only think of three things left that could be causing the overheating issue.
(1) The radiator cap is not holding the proper amount of pressure on the cooling system.
Or
(2) The water pump isn't moving the coolant (properly).
Or
(3) The cooling fan isn't running long enough or at the correct time. You briefly mentioned your cooling fan only coming on for a few seconds, can you elaborate on that (more details). If you run the car in your driveway (like you are sitting in traffic) can you observe your cooling fan and its behavior?? How long is it running for??

I'm leaning towards an issue with your cooling fan or the electrical circuit controlling the cooling fan.

OP, turn on your A/C and see if the fan is running.
