If your head is warped, you could be losing compression maybe? That's the 3 things you need: spark, fuel and compression. You must be missing one somehow.

How long was the car sitting for after it overheated. I had mine sit for a long time and the battery was low enough it would try to start but nothing. I was able to jump it and that fixed the problem. Its a stretch, but you are looking for a needle right now.

Does it have injector pulses? Try squirting fuel in the intake and then crank it over.
