I kinda figured they wouldnt sell anything that could hurt your motor, I was just tryin to figure out why I used to run on N, then changed pump, stat, and had radiator leak fixed. Now it runs on MA.

You might be onto something.
I have 2 casted lower pumps here with o-ring returns.
They both use Long stat. Possible the casted and pipe thread
are short stat.
All oem ford casted pumps were short stats. Its the IH pumps
and remans where the mistake can be made. (long vs short stat).

Here's a few pictures of the bolt on, 1st & 2nd picts, and cast on lower rad hose opening, 3rd pict.
The long stat has 7/16" clearance between the stat and the bypass seat in the pump. 1st pict
There is 11/16" difference between the short and long stat.
The last picture is a 7 year old pump, 110k miles, just replaced it. I chopped the seat down to clear a long stat. Did that before i found this site.
. Chopped it too far, the the bypass was open all that time...no engine damage.
Notice the pump it self is bolted into the housing or pressed into it.

so the only problem your having now is leaks?
your part # didnt match up with a long t stat, guess you have a short one with the water pump that matches up with a short one?
if you are in need of the long neck thermostat housing , i have one in my pile of parts that is waithing to get put on my truck. brand new from dieselsite. if you need it to get you going , im willing to part with it to get ya going and i'll order another one.
let me know.
