Thermostat Housing and base

I have a 1974 260Z, It has a 280Z engine, N36 intakes, 71 SU Carbs and balance tube. I am now to the point of working on the thermostat parts. What is the cleanest looking housing and base? Can I make it fit on the 280Z engine? If anyone has any pic's, email me please! mrm2277@msn.com I really want to clean up the engine compartment. I bought the European balancer kit from MSA and that has helped too.
Any other cool ideas or suggestions? Thanks for your time, I have come to love this site.

Take a look at my engine photo in my gallery on this site. It might give you some ideas.

All the L-series housings look pretty much the same. There are three bolt and two bolt versions of each, but the 3-bolts seal better. None of them are a different size or look more "clean"
