Man, you really jumped right in to the deep water with that long drive to 
work and a "just finished" car.  .  I hope you had Triple A or a friend for 
the towing bill.

I probably have an extra fan or two if you want to stay with the original 
design.  I might have a radiator but I can't guartanee it would not need 
work.  I have a used water pump too if you need one.

Regards,
Joe Fulton
