Aren't they just 140deg thermostats for a 318?
I bet the local NAPA has them ... mine has a lot of marine stuff. As someone else mentioned, sometime you have to find an old (as in age) parts guy who knows how to find a specific part based on his knowledge that the part might go in a certain 80s' truck or something.
The young guys .. yikes. I went into O'Reilly Auto Parts a while back and asked the kid for battery acid. He asked, "For what?"
jeeeeesh

Car Quest has been very good at finding what i need. but they tried and couldnt find the thermostats for some reason. but all the electronic ignition parts. they found all those for me. now there getting together the 3 parts to the distributors. the one by me has a boat guy that works there.
