The quickest, easiest, and maybe even the cheapest way I know: go to the auto parts store, buy a 160 thermostat which is bigger than ours, and cut it down to size with tin snips, aviation snips, a cutoff wheel, or what have you. Couple of bucks, couple of minutes.

how much does it have to be cut down if it is a standard chevy 350 160* thermostat?

I never saw the difficulty in this, go to the parts store look up the stock thermostat, look at it, it will say how big it is (I think it is like 54MM or something) then look for the same outside diameter 160*. This has never failed me.
