What type of thermostat does the Meziere use? I know its from an older SBC style motor, but specifically what type? I want to go into an autoparts store and buy a 180 thermo for mine off the shelf. Went today and not only was there no guide book, there was about 50 different ones that all looked nearly exactly like the one that came with the Meziere from Thunder Racing (Powerstat Part#1000).

Mine had a 54mm engraved on it (the diameter). It just has to plopsmoothly into the neck that you screw off. I went to Checker (CSK auto), and they only had one type of Small block 160 degree thermo for me. they did have a few varieties of 180's, but they were all different size diameters. There was only one 54mm one in 180's.

aha, i did see one that had 54mm engraved on it at the store today. I'll go in tomorrow and see if I can find a 180 and 195, i wanna play with the temps. I think with my engine never seeing over 170 in the winter isnt optimal, and the 15 minute warmup times are kinda annoying. Gonna 'spearment

Thunder Racing has the 180* also, it's Hypertech 1018.
The thermostat is used for 5.0L mustangs, and SBC's.

Also, I don't think there is a 195* thermostat that will fit in the Meziere.
