The 1981 Chevy Malibu 350 engine thermostat is located on the front of the engine. You can follow the water supply hose from the radiator to the thermostat.
Where is the thermostat located at on a 2004 Chevy Malibu 3.5 liter V6
It is located underneath the throttle cable assembly, behind the exhaust manifold. It is no shade tree mechanic job to replace this.
Most stats are located in the thermostat housing at the bottom of the upper radiator hose.

The thermostat on a 1999 Chevy Malibu 2.4L is located on top of the engine, in the intake manifold. It is within its own housing which is connected to the upper radiator hose.
