Is this adapter something that could be used for the temp sensor??

Also, I just found out that the engine

http://www.summitracing.com/parts/nal-19210008

Comes with the intake NOT INSTALLED!

Can you believe, for $4K and it's not pre installed....not a big deal if I was doing the swap myself, but my truck and the engine is at my mechanics shop and I can't go install it myself....so now I have to pay him to install the intake....
I have read in other temp sensor threads that using an adapter is not the best solution. I think it is due to the fact that the adapter places the sensing plug out of the coolant flow.


My engine came completely assembled as you can see in the picture below. As I said in a previous post, these engines have gone through at least 4 part numbers which may account for the changes (no water pump and not completely assembled). Fuel pump and starter were the only things not included.
