Good place to put an aftermarket temp gauge sensor 
The leftover blocked off hose after the tb bypass.... There is coolant there right? Could you just stick a hose barb in there and screw in the sending unit to the female end of the barb?? I expect one would likely have to find an adapter or 2, but could it really be that simple???? I want one but dont want to fool with the heads or drilling the waterpump etc.. Anyone done this?

The previous owner didnt connect them I guessing, just blocked off both hoses.. At any rate I could just get a new, much longer piece of hose and reconnect it all back together, splice a T fitting into it and run the sensor into the T. Why wouldnt that work?
