ZZ4, where to install temp sensor?

The ZZ4 crate I am installing has no provision to install the temp sensor on the back of the passenger side head.
To those that have gone this route, how / where did you install the sensor?
This is a dual fan TPI setup.

I was researching an overheating issue in the cooling section last week. Some people are buying water necks/thermostat housings that already have bungs installed in them.

I don't really know if this will work for you, just giving you an idea since no one has responded.

As far as I know, the temp sensor doesn't go in the back of the head but in the side of the head.

Thanks five7, seems the heads which I was using for comparison (the ones on my 305) were aftermarket heads which had been re-worked, I have no idea what they were.
Thanks for the reply.
