Oil temp port

Anyone know of a port on the big block that could be used for an oil temp gauge ? Prefferably not too hard to get to?

Thanks!

Sorry my bad, I was on the Avalanche board prior (only one gen BB Av).

'05 Avalanche 2500 Vortec 8100....

It has the oem oil cooler liners to the rad, no air-oil cooler, just water to air.

I also was doing some searching and looks like the Aeroforce is pretty sweet, but $230 vs. $50 for a oil temp gauge.

Tow rig, running a HPP3 tuner, thats about it...
