The 351C/M/400 takes a special thermostat with a kind of collar around it. A 192-5°F thermostat is the one to use. Use only the Cooper-Robertshaw thermostat. This has been discussed many times in the 335 series engine forum.

Where to buy a 335 Series thermostat?
3 options:
-Find a dealer with a RT-139 still in stock.
-Robert Shaw 333-180
-Napa THM 297 After calling a local Ford dealer, I was able to track down a dealer that has the RT-139.
It’s a dealer in Kansas but they will ship it to you.

ND extra words of wisdom I do believe?

Why buy the thermostat from HIGH BUCK! Bob "snake" Allen Ford, who wants MEGA BUCKS for obsolete parts, especially when the thermostat is not obsolete?

I just looked, the thermostat is available from Ford: MSRP: $8.62.

btw: The only time I list this snake...is when no one else has the part. I warn people about the price, and tell 'em this snake is related to Ben Dover.
