If you want to take a economical approach you could buy a ZeroStart (Phillips & Temro) Part Number 3100040 which is a block heater kit that would give you the same element as OEM (P & T is Ford's supplier), but the cord would be a generic one that you would have to route and tie-up as you choose. Some place like NAPA should be able to get this to you for about $25.
Or the OEM approach...
Heater/Element Assembly (MSRP $27.48): F7UZ-6A051-BA
Wiring Assembly (MSRP $78.63): 1C3Z-6B018-BA

Don't fool around with the KATS brand products they are junk read the reviews of them all over www.amazon.com they all fail or seem to leak within months. Go with a P & T also sold as ZeroStart or HotStart heaters.

I'm starting to wish I'd done this...
-18F this morning, and I started to have a little trouble turning over.
I think the transmission oil was to blame... whoever decided a circulation pump and a cooler in a manual transmission were a good idea wasn't the brightest bulb on the string. All I got to hear this morning was pump cavitation as she warmed up.

I hear you. I have used mine this winter! I was up north of me where the temp was -38 and with Amsoil and my block heater it turned over like it was 80 out side. Only thing was my power steering pump was crying at me for a couple minutes. I am running synthetic in that too. All in all, Im very happy I installed one this fall.
Run to napa, pull it into the garage and be done with it in about 45min. My 2 cents! Oh but wait for it to get above freezing!
