At the flywheel end of the engine there are 3 round plugs in the end of the head, you can see them in my pic just below the dipstick, thats where you need to fit a thermostat housing
Your 1.8cvh wont fit you need one from a 1.6 front wheel drive escort, i think davedew is doing this so may post a pic for you to clarify what you need
You will only need 1 temp sender in the water system for your dash temp guage
You wont need any of the vacuum take offs
Yes you are correct just dont cut a hole in the manifold flange for the coolant outlet and this in conjuction with some thick gasket paper/sealant will make it water tight
Just take it one job at a time and ask questions as you go, dont worry about things that are too far ahead
Get your engine and gearbox in make your inlet manifold and get a thermostat on it then take it from there
