Thermostat help

[ThaBeast]

Anyone know where I can purchase a 205-210 degree thermostat for a 1998 Chevy v8? I can only find the hot thermostats for 1996 and older engines.

Hey Kevin, thanks for the help, those are for gen I small blocks. Gen II small blocks (1997-200?) have a little hole in the bottom of the stat housing that is plugged when the thermostat opens. Have you run the gen I thermostat in a gen II block without issue?

Sorry, could not find a 205 for a gen II, only a 180.
Maybe when Bob wakes up he could look for that empty box.
