I thought that I remembered that a regular gasket from practically any chevrolet small block thermostat housing would fit, provided the area isn't pitted, but now I cannot find anything about that by searching the site.

Is that true?

I have occasionally used small block thermostats and gaskets on my '31 or '32 Chevys. No need for special outlets on the head or gaskets.

Chevrolet used the same thermostat from the 1930's through the late '90's.
