Re: Do modern style thermostats work in 59 stylle heads?
Using a template, I drill and tap 4-40 holes in the neck of the head and drill holes in the stat to match and use stainless steel screws. It is a little trickier with stock cast iron heads but is easy on aluminum aftermarket heads for a 59 series engine. There are many ways to accomplish this, including stats that go up at the radiator inlet so they can't move.
