Does anyone happen to have a suggestion on a modern thermostat I can run in my 36?

Get a modern one and then get a short length of SS tube that will push up in the upper hoses. Get some one to tig weld the T/stat onto the tube,You may need to file or machine the OD of the T/state flange down to be the same OD as the tube, then just push them up into the top hoses Let me know if you want a pic.

As an option to the aluminum tube insert and based on an old post, I went to NAPA and bought a minimum length piece (12") of straight radiator hose of a diameter to fit inside the stock radiator hose above the two cylinder heads of my '47. I cut two pieces of the straight hise about 1-1/4 inches long. The thermostats that sit on the cylinder head coolant outlet have about a 3/16ths wide edge, so inserting a 1/8" thickness of straight hose does not interfere with the thermostat function and thus the flow of coolant up and out of the cylinder head. To locate where to place the inserts I temporarily positioned one inside the stock hose above the cylinder head coolant outlet and pushed the stock hose into position. The recess dimension turned out to be an inch or so. Using the dry stock hose and that recess dimension, I used rubber cement glue to fix the inserts in-place. I did this procedure 5 years ago and it continues to function and work fine.
