speaking of doing stupid things and how to fix it... a few weeks ago i broke off the bolts that hold the t-stat in and only got one of the holes drilled and rethearded the other hole the drill slipped and broke off a corner of the housing but it's temporary fixed with a smalled bolt some washers and nuts. just wondering if you replace the water pump does it replace that housing it looks like it to me and also what a water pump cost? is there anything i can mod while the pump is off to make it faster??

I just replaced my water pump and it was $325 from ford for the pump, a thing of vc-8 and two gallons of coolant, If I remember correctly. Its a pain in the **** to replace these things. I had my mechainc do it, lol. The thermostat housing I believe is fixed to the water pump, could be wrong.
