I recall seeing a SolidWorks or CAD drawing floating around on one of the forums somewhere, with that you could probably get your local CNC machine shop to fabricate them easily enough.

Have you called Pantera vendors and Lloyd at RBT, the side mounts get removed for the guys that drop a ZF in a GT40 replica so there should be extras floating around. If not most vendors are selling a side mount conversion for the -1 ZF that might also work.

     Guys,
     Here is a 180 degree OEM-style 351C thermostat from NAPA auto parts:
     [3]https://www.napaonline.com/en/p/MRD197
     Note that it?s stated that it is appropriate for both the 351C and
     351W. I suppose it would work fine in a Windsor because the hat
     wouldn?t interfere with anything, but I have verified that this is a
     Cleveland-specific unit.
     Works good, lasts long time?and costs eight bucks.
     The original thermostat was 192 degrees (or 195? I can?t remember)
     and those are available too from various makers, as are 160 degree
     units which are arguably much too cold.

     Message-ID: <F431FD47-8840-4350-A518-6AC99D7DD939 at aol.com>
     Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8
     All,
     A stock Pantera 351C cooling system has five (six with pulley)
     specific design components in the engine.
     Water pump WITH bypass passage
     Water pump impeller WITHOUT backing plate
     Restrictor plate in block
     High-flow thermostat*
     Thermostat with ?hat?
     * I have heard/read multiple times, and have personally come to
     believe, that the Cleveland OEM thermostat was the high-flow version
     with the hat.
     Tim Meyer (he is the vendor who took over the Todd Buttermore
     Cleveland project and is now providing aluminum and iron blocks) has
     retooled the original high flow Cleveland thermostat($32), as Thomas
     and Chuck have previously mentioned. He also has a proper restrictor
     plate ($20) ($49-the set) for the block. 160-180-195 versions.
     Personally I have no problem spending $32 to purchase an OEM-correct
     high-flow thermostat from a vendor who has stepped forward and made
     them readily available.
     I don?t believe the money saved with a NAPA standard-flow thermostat
     justifies the restriction to coolant flow that must surely come with
     that non-OEM style.
     Now in practice, we all know there are many approaches to cooling
     that will provide acceptable performance.
     Example:
     2511 when purchased had the pinhole restrictor plate, a Windsor
     standard flow thermostat, and the Weiand water pump which does not
     have the bypass passage. That engine did not run hot, did not boil
     over; performed just fine year after year. It actually had zero out
     of the five design components mentioned above. :-o ;-)
     Maybe the Weiand water pump impeller that has a backing plate
     increased water flow enough that the standard flow thermostat
     restriction was neutralized?
     Whatever, it worked.
     Perhaps logic, and respect for the original Ford-engineered system,
     would seem to suggest the standard .... starting.... point for any
     351C cooling system should incorporate all five of the above design
     components.
     Then, if you have cooling issues you know that you have at least
     started with the correct OEM design.
     Larry
     Impeller backing plate
     Undersized WP pulley
     Single-dual-pass radiator
     160-180-195 thermostats
     Brass-aluminum radiator
     Upright or laydown
     And..........and..... :-)

     Larry,
     Panteras came with standard thermostats. Standard thermostats are
     not ?high flow?. Those weren?t even invented back then, I don?t
     think.
     I have removed original thermostats from original Pantera engines. I
     used to have one as a visual aid but I must have thrown it out, as I
     can?t find it now. It was seriously crusty but still worked.
     Standard style, Ford markings, 19x degrees (192 or 195, I still
     can?t remember).
     I?m with you?I would buy the Tim Meyer version over the cheap ones,
     although it?s just for superstitious reasons. I can?t say I have
     ever heard of a quantifiable improvement that resulted from using
     one over the other.
     John Christian once explained to me the argument against blocking
     off the bypass passage (either with a water pump that lacks the
     port, or a blockoff plate). Thermal shock, cavitation, steam pockets
     etc were some of the reasons he gave.
     He helped invent the 351C so I?ll take him at his word! Note that I
     don?t claim any specific expertise. I just know and trust some
     really smart people. :)

     All,
     I am quite sure hi-flow thermostats were available for the
     Cleveland, as evidenced by this drawing attributed to, and certainly
     appearing to be from, Ford.
     It clearly depicts a hi-flow style thermostat.

   I recall seeing a SolidWorks or CAD drawing floating around on one of
   the forums somewhere, with that you could probably get your local CNC
   machine shop to fabricate them easily enough.

   Have you called Pantera vendors and Lloyd at RBT, the side mounts get
   removed for the guys that drop a ZF in a GT40 replica so there should
   be extras floating around. If not most vendors are selling a side mount
   conversion for the -1 ZF that might also work.

        Guys,
        Here is a 180 degree OEM-style 351C thermostat from NAPA auto
   parts:
        [3]https://www.napaonline.com/en/p/MRD197
        Note that it?s stated that it is appropriate for both the 351C and
        351W. I suppose it would work fine in a Windsor because the hat
        wouldn?t interfere with anything, but I have verified that this is
   a
        Cleveland-specific unit.
        Works good, lasts long time?and costs eight bucks.
        The original thermostat was 192 degrees (or 195? I can?t remember)
        and those are available too from various makers, as are 160 degree
        units which are arguably much too cold.

        Guys,
        Here is a 180 degree OEM-style 351C thermostat from NAPA auto
   parts:
        [1][15]https://www.napaonline.com/en/p/MRD197
        Note that it's stated that it is appropriate for both the 351C and
        351W. I suppose it would work fine in a Windsor because the hat
        wouldn't interfere with anything, but I have verified that this is
   a
        Cleveland-specific unit.
        Works good, lasts long time--and costs eight bucks.
        The original thermostat was 192 degrees (or 195? I can't remember)
        and
        those are available too from various makers, as are 160 degree
   units
        which are arguably much too cold.

        Jack,
        I buy thermostats for people all the time. Conventional OEM-style
        thermostats for the 351C cost the same as their Windsor
        counterparts, around $7. It's true that since Robertshaw
        discontinued their 351C model, if you want a Robertshaw thermostat
        you have to buy one that has been customized from a Windsor model,
        from Marlin Jack, and due to the amount of work involved, those
   are
        very expensive indeed!
        The pressed-on `hat' on the Cleveland thermostat adds to its
        diameter to partially (not fully) obstruct the orifice in the disc
        in the block, but I don't believe it adds significantly to its
        height? If that supposition is correct, then potentially either a
        Windsor or Cleveland thermostat could be blocked from fully
   opening
        if the disc in the block was solid. There is a significant amount
        of vertical travel when the thermostat fully opens and although I
        never thought about it until now, and don't have an engine to
        reference to test the hypothesis, it wouldn't surprise me if you
        have hit on yet another disadvantage to modifying the cooling
   system
        in this manner.

        All,
        A stock Pantera 351C cooling system has five (six with pulley)
        specific design components in the engine.
        Water pump WITH bypass passage
        Water pump impeller WITHOUT backing plate
        Restrictor plate in block
        High-flow thermostat*
        Thermostat with ?hat?
        * I have heard/read multiple times, and have personally come to
        believe, that the Cleveland OEM thermostat was the high-flow
   version
        with the hat.
        Tim Meyer (he is the vendor who took over the Todd Buttermore
        Cleveland project and is now providing aluminum and iron blocks)
   has
        retooled the original high flow Cleveland thermostat($32), as
   Thomas
        and Chuck have previously mentioned. He also has a proper
   restrictor
        plate ($20) ($49-the set) for the block. 160-180-195 versions.
        Personally I have no problem spending $32 to purchase an
   OEM-correct
        high-flow thermostat from a vendor who has stepped forward and
   made
        them readily available.
        I don?t believe the money saved with a NAPA standard-flow
   thermostat
        justifies the restriction to coolant flow that must surely come
   with
        that non-OEM style.
        Now in practice, we all know there are many approaches to cooling
        that will provide acceptable performance.
        Example:
        2511 when purchased had the pinhole restrictor plate, a Windsor
        standard flow thermostat, and the Weiand water pump which does not
        have the bypass passage. That engine did not run hot, did not boil
        over; performed just fine year after year. It actually had zero
   out
        of the five design components mentioned above. :-o ;-)
        Maybe the Weiand water pump impeller that has a backing plate
        increased water flow enough that the standard flow thermostat
        restriction was neutralized?
        Whatever, it worked.
        Perhaps logic, and respect for the original Ford-engineered
   system,
        would seem to suggest the standard .... starting.... point for any
        351C cooling system should incorporate all five of the above
   design
        components.
        Then, if you have cooling issues you know that you have at least
        started with the correct OEM design.

        Larry,
        Panteras came with standard thermostats. Standard thermostats are
        not ?high flow?. Those weren?t even invented back then, I don?t
        think.
        I have removed original thermostats from original Pantera engines.
   I
        used to have one as a visual aid but I must have thrown it out, as
   I
        can?t find it now. It was seriously crusty but still worked.
        Standard style, Ford markings, 19x degrees (192 or 195, I still
        can?t remember).
        I?m with you?I would buy the Tim Meyer version over the cheap
   ones,
        although it?s just for superstitious reasons. I can?t say I have
        ever heard of a quantifiable improvement that resulted from using
        one over the other.
        John Christian once explained to me the argument against blocking
        off the bypass passage (either with a water pump that lacks the
        port, or a blockoff plate). Thermal shock, cavitation, steam
   pockets
        etc were some of the reasons he gave.
        He helped invent the 351C so I?ll take him at his word! Note that
   I
        don?t claim any specific expertise. I just know and trust some
        really smart people. :)

        All,
        I am quite sure hi-flow thermostats were available for the
        Cleveland, as evidenced by this drawing attributed to, and
   certainly
        appearing to be from, Ford.
        It clearly depicts a hi-flow style thermostat.
