Default Where to get a 160* thermostat?

Where do you get a 160* theremostat? Is there a vehicle application that you can use to get one from a parts store or do you have to get one from the LS specialty venders?

Is that all one piece and is it only for the LS1 style? I have an 04 LQ4 and am using the truck style water pump and accessory setup.

I think it would work lq4 is the same as ls2 just different valley plates. One is aluminum other is iron. Ls2 part are usually enter changeable with ls1/ls6. Take a picture of your thermostat and ill compare it with my ls1. I think its a two piece if Ican remember the thermostat is one piece, than the housing.

If it's an 04, you need the cheaper thermostat.

Mr Gasket makes a 160 Degree thermostat for the non-integral waterneck.

We have all three LSX styles in stock. Being a 04 it would take the thermostat only (smaller diameter) no housing.

Save your money, and spend your effort / $ on improving
the heat throw (radiator, fans).
