Water temperature sender location on 5.0 Coyote engine

[Supergreekster]

Just thinking ahead, engine about to go in, is there already a location for this sender for the water temp gauge? If not, where are people putting this?

Post pictures, if u can!

If you're going to use a heater, the inlet to the heater works well:



If not, the factory five instructions have you use a port in the block by the oil filter. I installed it in the heater tube prior to FFR releasing any info.

No problem.

You can fit the pedal w/o cutting it in half, and if you use a 2011+ starter, there is no need for a remote solenoid. There are still a handful of items in this revision that are more complicated than they need to be.

Also, the Champ pan from Richard Oben is completely above the frame rails. The Moroso just barely hangs down.

Now seeing that there may/will be some interference between factory "oil pressure switch" installed in the oil filter relocator bracket and the water temp location in the engine block...

I am using ford oil filter bracket
Ford Racing M-6881-M50 Ford Racing Oil Filters, Adapters & Coolers

Are there any other alternative locations for water temp sensor? (right side of engine block?!). If I could find a bushing to immediately go from 1/2" (engine block threaded) to the 1/8" NPT that may give enough clearance, otherwise pretty crowded...
