Default Engine manifold plug

I want to change the location of my temperature sensor shown below to a water neck with a 1/2 inch needed sensor thread. My radiator hose lays directly on the black plastic connector with much weight on it.
What engine manifold plug do I plug do use? Any sealant needed? If you could give my a Summit Racing part # that would be great. My sensor is not working either, so another reason to do this.

Had the same problem, but had no where else to put it.
Replaced thermostat housing with an L79 style,
Solved.

You can also get the plug at your local ACE store.
