sorry to hear.
spend the few bucks on a real temp gauge for the replacement engine,so you can shut her down and let it sit if need be,and or push,tow,drive a bit then stop and let cool,whatever it takes to avoid going past 240 for any length of time until you can fix the issue.gauges are cheaper than engines.
not trying to pour salt on a wound.just helping for the next time.good thing is,used idi's can be found fairly cheap.500$ or less generally.
