Here you go. Click here for information with pictures. (http://www.autozone.com/shopping/repairGuide.htm?pageId=0900c1528007580a) Just be careful of the 2 bolts. They are bad about rusting and possibly break. Good luck.

One thing I've found on Ford's is the groove for the thermostat is in the housing. On a Chevy it is in the manifold. When using original equipment thermostats which have a locking attachment it isn't a problem. If using aftermarket thermostats use molding adhesive and glue the thermostat to the housing. Then glue the gasket to the housing.
It is very easy to crack the housing if it is misaligned.
