What is this part

This is from a 1999 3.8L Windstar. It fell off when the engine was revved and radiator fluid came out. I need to know how to get one so I can get it fixed. Also if you have any hints on how to replace it that would be great also Thanks
Doug

Doug,
I have no idea. I feel like I SHOULD know, but I don't.

I believe the purple thing in the upper right is a torn foam bicycle handlebar grip.

That part is a engine block heater. It goes into one of the freeze plug holes in the block. You could replace it with a regular freeze plug if you dont need the block heater. If you got the engine hot enough to blow it out I would check for combustion gasses in the cooling system you may have blown a head gasket or cracked a head.

Good Luck
