Default thermostat housings

hi guys:
this 64 gp is my first pontiac. all my years has been devoted to caddys, all 500 ci's. i cannot find a thermostat housing to replace the one on my caddy. the thing i found out is that my 64 gp has a thermostat housing bolt spread of 3" matches the caddy bolt spread. chevy's spread is larger and it is difficult to get a good seal. here are two picts, one caddy and one off the 389. the caddy is straight up and the pontiac is slightly angled.
anybody know of a pontiac housing that is straight up that would match the caddy? i could even use one that leaned in the opposite direction of the caddy.
thanks.
