Back in the day thermostats were usually at the top of the block just before the hot water left the engine and entered the radiator. Most newer Japanese engines now have the thermostat before the bottom hose going to the radiator.
Either way will work, but old timer domestic heads preach the prior method. Maybe try it in both locations and record your operating temperatures to see which suits you better.
