Marlin's piece is a repro of the stock one. Your Cleveland should have it already installed.
But if not, the Cleveland thermostat 'hat' will not fully close the inlet to the block warm-up passage and you will never send all your coolant up to the radiator.
I do imagine Marlin's is a better made piece than the stock Ford unit - he does good work.
