Default mechanical temp sensor

Has anyone ever put a mechanical temp sensor probe on an ls1? If so, where? I will eventually will put a electrical sender on my motor when I update all of my gauges, but would like to use the mechanical one for now.

It's part of the Autometer kit 3/8-18. You need to tap the 12mm hole to 3/8-18. It is the best reading you can get.
Thanks
