I don't know anything about V8s, but the thermostat is usually located where the top radiator hose connects to the engine.

Firstly for what i could work out the lower radiator hose leads to the thermostat on a 5.7 gen III. And flushing the system also requires that the nock sensors are needed to be removed from the cylinder block to drain the remaider of your coolant from the engine. As for the bleed nipple sorry cannot help there.
