That is a major overhaul. dont drive it, it might throw a rod through the wall off the engine block. You are looking at a substantial cost. Might be in your best interest to get a rebuilt engine with a warranty.
It would sound like a gnome lives in the engine and is building a railroad. A very rhythmic loud banging just before the engine died for good. I apologize if that was too graphic but I hope it answered your question. Now, if it's a rod bearing...it's a same situation but more of a very loud rattling. Ending in the first scenario.

Replace the bad radiator hose first. Second- get you special formulated anti-freeze dye from the auto store and pour it into the radiator. Third- make sure you got all the air pockets out of your system, cause the coolant system won't work with air pockets in it. Fourth- Check for leaks by looking for the colored dye. If it's not the radiator hose, then could possibly be a pin hole in your radiator. Would suggest replacing all the radiator hoses at the same time while you got the coolant system disconnected, cause you don't want to have to come back and replace another hose in a few months.
Replacing steering components is not that easy, and you have to take it somewhere for an alignment afterwards anyway, and if the shop did not do the work they are going to charge you a lot for the alignment. I'd take it somewhere and let them fix it for you.
I wouldn't take a long trip with bad steering components. If something broke, the best outcome is you'd be stranded, but the worst could be you lose control and crash. Paying somebody to fix it would seem really cheap compared to that!
