Mine is a 66 cast block. The ports I used were on each side- between the freeze plugs.

The MP alum housing has three heater hose ports. Two on the upper part and one a step down with the 1/4 inch one on the drivers side of the housing (instead of the right). I used one of my heaterports for the large senders that is with the electic fan I installed.
In this picture you can see the two upper heater ports the other is hidden behind the alt bracket.
stock cast iron housing , 68 up ??? also have that same extra port .
OP , what year is the car you are working on ? But you say it has an alum housing ? also note , the port you guys are calling 1/4" for temp sender is tapped for 1/8-27 NPT , not really enough meat to tap is for the larger courser thread NPT .

working on a 68 hemi RR. has three ports on the passengers side, one for mech temp gauge and 2 for heater hoses. i believe that this motor was built with an aftermarket aluminum pump and housing, as well as the mopar repro block and heads. i know its got the mopar aluminum single 4 intake as well, with factory hemi manifolds.
so i cant drill and tap the drivers side, thats ok. ill take a look for the ones on the sides of the block.
failing that, i guess ill have to build a T fitting for where the mechanical water temp gaige is, and plug both in there. just have to find a way to make it pretty.

If you go in from the top on the drivers side you should be able to drill and tap that for the sensor. Do you know what type of housing it has? If it's a crate motor and it has the MP alum housing you should be fine and it should have a 1/8-27 NPT port there to give you an idea how thick it is , but you'll want to pull I think to drill and tap that ?
