Mine is right above the oil filter, there is a port there that you can use where the oil filter screws into.

oil temp or oil pressure? temp is in the pan - pressure is either beside the filter location as said above or behind the intake

I drilled and tapped the oil drain plug, screwed in a temp sensor. Put a connector in the wire so you can unplug it to drain the oil.

Temperature. Where in the pan would you put it?

I personally like Injuneer's suggestion and will probably go with it.

You can fit it like Fred suggested, or if you have the pan off you can weld one of these in . . . http://store.summitracing.com/partde...?part=ATM-2261
