351 C Brass water restrictor under thermostat needed

I am not sure if this will help but when I worked on my 351C Mustang (many years ago) I dealt with Glaziers Mustang Barn (a big Mustang restoration house here in Pa), and someone there might know. I don't have their number but I think they are on the web.
Maybe at www.glaziersmustangbarn.com. Search
for Glaziers and you might find it. Hope this helps.

Another possibility exists: use a 2" brass freeze plug, available at about any parts store in the free world. You will no longer have the warm-up circuit in your water pump, but you will acquire the ability to run ANY Ford thermostat, since there will be no hole in the new freeze plug to accept the block-off cup on the bottom of a 351c-only thermostat. The change may cause your engine to run 10-15 degrees cooler as a bonus.

I like the idea of the 2inch freeze plug.... You don't know the diameter of the freeze plug to ask for off the top of your head by chance do you? If I can use any ford thermostat then it opens up better possibilities to finding a high flow 180 degree thermostat.

Appreciate your reply

Call Pantera East I sold him 6 of them nos.Ray
