What you need to do if you want that engine to warm up is , take off the whole thermostat housing, stick a water hose in the radiator port and any water that goes through and out any of the other ports is why it won't warm up. Those housings were never great when new but they rust out and the tube on thermostat fits so loose in housing that coolant goes right on by. Also the bypass is so large on a cold day, the thermostat may not even have to open to stay cool. You can plug by pass and drill a small hole like 1/4 in in plug. Then find a way to seal the tube. I have used a large light spring over tube, washer that just fits over tube with out binding, and then a o-ring above that to seal on housing. On the diesel models like Md on up, you can machine a groove in housing for a seal but the gas models don't have enough material from what I have run into. Problem with covering radiator is it puts the fan in a strain if you seal cover too tight and if you don't it still won't warm up.
