While on the subject of heating. Can anyone give em the part number of the right thermostat? The one without the pilot whole? And where do i go about getting/ordering it?

Don't over tighten the screw that holds the heater in the block. I broke the wing nut that goes in the water jacket and the heater popped out during a drive. Also make sure to seal everything with Hylomar or other good sealant.

Order the thermostat from FORD...those and the IHI are the only ones worth while installing, as aftermarket ones are garbage!
