I would use a stock fan. More air, more reliability.

Do you have an old used water pump? If it's new and fine, just run it.

water pump is new - don't remember what brand, im thinking it was an autozone pump

should i drill a weep hole in the hi flow thermo ???

if yes where on the milodon - it looks different from other thermos ive seen
