Does anyone know if Stant makes a 180 or slightly less thermostat for the LS1? iIseen one on EBAY PN -14698 but its sounds sketchy if its a fit.

You can get 160DegF stat for an LS1. The stat is integral to the housing. They arent overly cheap though.

The integral housing one? You can disassemble it and stack a few shims under the shaft. IIRC, I used two 3/16" pop rivet washers and ended up at 170°...
