based on your second post, it sounds like you already know where you are gonna put it. The pan would be a great place.
easy would be the port above the oil filter. can't guarantee the readings though - I have never done this.

I have the same problem, i didnt want to tap my pan and I already had an oil pressure guage in the port above the oil filter.
Right now I'm planning on just tapping the drain plug and putting the sensor there with a connector on the wire for when i change the oil.
just my .02
