SOHC 4.0 thermostat housing upgrade

My thermostat housing leak is not that big. As some days it leaks a little, other days it doesn't. But the way I understand it is only going to get worse.

Simmons alum thermo hsg arrived yesterday. I need to get the tensioners, and some other parts in before I get started on all of this.

Kinda looks like w/ thermo hsg removed, as it needs replaced, the frt/driver side tensioner really isn't bad to do? Do I have that right?

It gives you a good deal more room. The intake manifold is the biggest obsticle, if you still have it on the engine when you go to install the tensioners.
