First of all,

Thanks to all of you that sent along you recommendations for the fix.  I
took all recommendations to my machine shop guy and we brainstormed and came
up with the following fix -

The coolant temp sensor has been inserted into a 3/8 NPT plug. The heater
return uses a new fitting that is 1/2 NPT that has been mounted flush.  I
also used epoxy when installing the coolant adapter, it won't leak or EVER
come out.  I was charged $45 for the work.

Check my FB album - I received the oil pan today and it is installed.
