I have seen them offered as a sleeve inserted into the radiator hose.
It gives you a NPT tapped hole in the cooant flow.
Thats the most intrusive way and leaves it 'restorable back to stock' for the next owner...
Gotta search for that pic/link....

This car will be in the family forever so I can do whatever I want to it....

But yeah, I have one of those sleeves that I bought through a package deal. I don't wanna use it cause I have braided hoses and that would look strange in the middle of them. I will be installing a Saleen S/C at the same time so I will look at the set up then, and look for the block plug as well. I was just getting everything planned out now so when I get home in Jan I can attack everything with ease.

I use this. Cheap ($15), easy, and looks good. Just my type!
