Why don't you put it in the plug on the passenger side cylinder head? If you don't know where it is, it's in the back. Siamesed cylinder heads ya know.

I've seen one case where somebody drilled and tapped a hole in the flat surface on the top face above and inboard of the thermostat.

I'd use the PCM fan controls, though.
