i am running the napa stat and yes it works. just remember to cut a litle notch in it like the 195 so it fits. it is the same stat that i was running in my 97 5.2

all you need to do is drain the radiator about 2 gallons. when you unbolt the housing for the stat becarfull not to get fluid in eyes.some will drain out but not much less than a pint. also the drain **** is only cheap plastic so dont break it. here is a pic of the stats the 195 is on the left and the 180 in the middle

Sounds like you might as well flush it while you're at it. I'm going to go ahead and do that myself when I change out the t-stat.
