On the highway it overheated, pulled over lots of fluid but would not retrain. Put fluid changed the thermostat check spark on the spark plugs and still not firing.

How does it sound when cranking over? If you upload a short video on how the engine sounds, I can tell if the engine is still good or not. In the meantime, you can perform a compression test to see if the engine still has life still in it. This guide will help:

Let us know what happens and please upload pictures or videos of the problem.
