This number is the same for cougar 95-01 as well.
That part # has been superseded by XS2Z-8501-CC.

Don't ask how I know. Well OK you dragged it out of me, my thermostat stuck closed (no coolant flow = virtually no cooling) during a track session Saturday. Shortly after that it took out the water pump, temp sensor, etc. I'm hoping that when I install the new parts I'll still have an intact motor. I thought the black pumps were pre-98. Guess I was horribly wrong.
