Looks like a pretty good solution, but I have a feeling it will give an inaccurate reading. I'm currently working on a set of gm 3/8 npt temp sensors that I am turning down and threading for the LSx 12x1.5mm. Ill make a thread when they are done.

For the price it's real good for me. I can keep all my factory gauges. So thats a plus for me. Temp should be okay, want be off my much.

That's quite a ways out of the main stream but other than being slow to respond it should work fine when everything heats up around it and transfers the heat in.

That thing is so damn long, the sensor may rub the fender well.

Doesn't seem like it would be too accurate to me either. I just drill and tap the passenger head. (Makes you not want to be my passenger. )

LOL. Took me a moment.

If you throw a belt it will take so long for that thing to respond you might as well go without it.

Drill and tap the block heater plug. You can get 1/2 NPT that way
