check your heater core coolant switch and make sure it isn't stuck in the closed position. its likely to be the case. have a friend switch the heater on and off so you can see it with your own eyes.
your overheating is, I think, an unrelated issue. make sure you installed or thermostat properly. you should also do a coolant pressure test, there might be a leak you can't see. oh, and purging the system through the bleed screw isn't a system flush. run pressurized water in reverse through the rad then through the block's water jackets and then finally through the heater core using the heater core's coolant hoses. hope that helps!
