I have a 1996 with a 1998 engine swapped in. I had a problem with the location of the temp senor at the back of the head since the newer head has no hole to accept it. I went to home depot and bought a brass 1/8" pipe thread coupler and JB welded it to the flat spot on the head where the hole would normally be drilled. I filled the fitting with oil after the JB dried for a day in order to transfer the heat from the head to the sensor. I made a jumper wire from the firewall ground directly to the top of the brass fitting to ensure a good ground. Once installed the temp reads right at 210 during normal operating just like it should. I have not tested this thoroughly yet but all indications so far are that it is a good easy work around for those with this type of problem.
