If overheating on the hwy the cooling capacity may not be up to par. This could be a plugged radiator core, debris on the outside of the radiator or colasped lower radiator hose.

Make sure the lower plastic air shield covering the gap between the radiator and engine is installed under the car.

This assumes the replacement engine came with a new water pump and thermostat.
