I agree with rustred and eltoro. Assuming the crank journal is wasted, find a decent used rod, double check the crank journal and you should be good as gold.
What's more troubling to me however is the overheating. I have never been able to get mine out of the cold zone without really (and I mean really) working it. More than likely, most of the radiator tubes are plugged. When I rebuilt my F-20, there was several pounds of rust scale in the block but that no effect on its running temp. The good news? You can fix the radiator yourself simply by disassembling it and passing something (like a coat hanger with a loop on the end) through each of the tubes. You may need to use something more substantial if your tubes are really clogged. A radiator shop speciallizes in this sort of thing if you're not so sure about doing it yourself. Make your own cork gaskets and you should be good to go. Also suggest you use some gasket shellac or gasket sealer to seal the joint that much better.
