The thermostat is located in the lower hose housing that bolts on the block.

A word of caution! Replace the thermostat with a new OEM unit, not an aftermarket unit like a Stant; aftermarket unit many times cause overheating problems.

Make sure the steam hole on the thermostat is pointing up when installing it.
