Thanks everyone, I may go through the drain plug short term and later in the season get the pan off and weld the bung on and maybe try to add some capacity at the same time

 OK Sixer
 Friends
 I want to
 install an oil temp gauge in the GT6. I bought an
 analog AccuTech
 Sportsman gauge with a pretty big
 install requirement, I'm guessing 5/8 - 18
 (can't find the exact size in the specs) and the probe
 extends an inch past the end of the
 fitting.
 I
 have page 47 of
 the Pegasus catalog earmarked for a Temp Gauge to
 AN adapter that is supposed to work with a T fitting,
 but seems it me the temp probe will block substantial
 flow or not get enough flow past the probe for a good
 reading. On the same page just above is a bloody $88 in line
 adapter, one of my last choices.
 Anywise -
 besides welding a bung on the pan or above last choice,
 I'm looking for other installation or adapter
 suggestions. 
 Thanks B Brian
