I was launching my car today because I waned to road test my new tires and my radiator hose blew which in turn caused my thermostat to bust I think...is it hard to replace or is it in one of the few easy spots in the engine bay???

 

Shoebox has a writeup on the thermostat changeout.

Be sure you get the correct t'stat for an LT1, you shouldn't use one for a Gen a SBC.
