Easier just to buy one the right length with new bolts.
IIRC the bolts are 1/4" fine thread.

Re: Boiling over.......
I would highly recommend a 5 or 7 blade fan with a good quality fan clutch, and the proper shroud, along with a 180-195 thermostat. You're in Houston it gets pretty hot there, a fan clutch as mentioned will also net you more MPG.
