Wooooooow. That has the sound of a bad engine. I don't know if that's bottom end or top end or both.
Are you 100% sure that the coolant system was bled properly after the radiator was replaced? Engines will make some strange noises when there is air in the system. Also, with an overheat that bad you might want to have the head checked for warpage.
And check the oil.
