Its overheating. And now there is a noise that I think is coming from bottom right pully its running really ruff and funny. And sometimes won't start but other times starts fine but after getting jump started the noise is really loud

Need to see why it is overheating first, are you using coolant? Are there any external coolant leaks? And is this an Australian EF- EL falcon?

It sounds like you have overheat the engine to the point where it has blown a head gasket between two cylinders. Here are two guides that can help us please go over them

and

If you have two cylinders that are low and are right next to each other the headgasket is blown. Please go over these guides and get back to us.
