Default Fan belt broke

Hello all. Im a new owner of a 73 stingray and I love her. However I had a slight mechanical issue, I was out for a cruise and my fan belt disintegrated and wrapped around the fan, smoke poured into the car and caused the car to over heat. I got it home and got it cooled down, and now I'm in the process of checking it over to see what damage was all done. My question is what thing should I check for, and where can I find parts for anything that may have been broken or warped? I'm in the process of tearing down the motor to ensure the heads are warped or damage and I've drained the coolant that boiled and no hoses were blown. Anything else I should check or do?

Welcome to the forum.

How hot did the coolant get while you were going home?
