I don't know if they make replacements? I searched but could not find any. Maybe your best bet is to go to the pick a part and pull one out of a junk engine? Course, I dont know how well they pop out, if at all??
Here is the plate you are looking for, correct? :
If you are looking for the thermostats for the engine, I think the most popular thermostat is the Robertshaw thermostat part number 333-192 or 333-180.
Here is a link I picked up from someone on FTE that talks about the thermostats along with other part numbers and manufacturers as well.

Good luck finding what you need!

Also, One question I have is, is the engine newly rebuilt. If it is it will overheat in low air flow situations - stop and go traffic, and long signal lights, etc - until it has about 3500-4000 miles on the rebuild.
Try a 7 blade T-Bird fan. I think they came in both 18 and 19 inch. Get which ever one is bigger and definately use a fan shround (as twise said). The fan should only protrude about 3/4 of the way into the shroud.

Those bypass restrictors are apparently made of unobtanium and gold plated.

I have two 351C and have being running one in my mustang since 1987. The fan shroud or an electric fan with a built in fan will help the most. Make sure you also have the correct radiator cap with the right pressure and last but not least use distilled water not regular tap water.
good luck
