Default 1996 v6 ford mustang problems

hello, I am new to the forums so hopefully I get this right. My 1996 V6 ford mustang has cracks in the block. I had no problems with the car before. For some reason there was nothing in the radiator but the coolant was full. So my engine was just hot all the time. I admit that the neglect of paying attention to the radiator is my fault but like I said where you insert the coolant it was full. So my questions are why it would do this and what is the best website to get a new block for my car.

A stuck thermostat will cause it to overheat and crack your block.

As for a new block you basically need a new engine and you are looking at more money than the whole car is worth. Get another used car for cheaper.
