Well after a month of taking everything apart and replacing everything I finally threw up my hands up and hit the street today. Without a thermostat at 50 MPH I can burry the temp gauge on COLD. I am still waiting for my electric fan switch to arrive then I will drain the radiator ONE MORE TIME, put the stat and switch in and drive it! Thanks to everyone for all the advice. I picked up a rear end with 3.50 gears so I can remove the 4.0 to 1 that it came with and should be the sweet ride I hoped for.

Merry Christmas Everyone!
