You may just need some cooling system maintenance. Thermostat, water pump, radiator, fan clutch, flush the system, maybe some new hoses. Have any of those things ever been done?

You're talking about converting from a closed to open cooling system. I'm not too knowledgable on the subject of doing that (sorry!), so try and do a search on the subject.
