what wires do you use on the fan to wire them to the battery?

Disconnect the wire connector near the fan motor, and connect the battery wires to the two pins on the fan motor's wire connector.

There is no real answer to that question. Some track guys have survived several trips above 250F and then some engines have died from one overheating. There are many variables. I have seen Renesis engines so overheated that the OMP lines and other plastics melted.

The only reason i ask is because my coolant reservoir lid melted so the cap wouldn't sit flush so it was allowing coolant to come out. Yesterday when i was driving my car started to overheat bad so i pulled over and let it sit for a while and tried starting it and it barley started back up, i managed to drive it home (dumb i know) while it was overheating and it died when i got to the house.
