Oil temp sensor in pan
I was curious as to what you guys have seen/done for installing a gm coolant temp sensor in the oil pan. I was going to drill and tap just above the oil drain.
I have the trans out, and can remove the passenger mount and using a ratchet strap pull the engine to the drivers side giving me enough room. I am just curious if the aluminum is too thin and might present leaks.
I guess the other option would be to just put the sensor in the oil drain plug and run it like that until I swap in a built motor and have a bung welded on the pan.

I really wanted to put the sensor on the pan, but I dont have the means to pull the engine at the moment, if I were home I would have but out of town and no cherry picker. I may do just that and put the sensor in the drain plug for the time being.
