and have the radiators vatted. I will have to further evaluate replacing the radiators as I am out of MONEY! The water pump was 8 months old at the time of the explosion, and was an after market unit from NAPA. The car was not running hot prior to blowing up so I am pretty certain that it was engine parts that destroyed the impeller and not vice versa. Thanks all for the input.
