Try this as a temporary solution (and I am serious).

If it is cracked as opposed to completely shattered into many pieces, clean it well, put the hose inside the rubbery elbow piece, then duct tape the outside diameter of the rubber elbow piece, put it back in and get the part from Ford tomorrow. I trust duct tape for almost everything as a temporary fix. Oh, and don't forget to change the oil after you get this fixed. God knows what went in the crankcase.
