It's on the top of the block behind the intake. You need to move the intake about 6" forward in order to gain enough access to replace it.

If you do a search on this forum, other posts will include lots of detail and drawings from the shop manual.

This is where most remote oil cooler line adapter blocks tap into.

I am not getting a reading from the sensor (low oil temp all the time) and I am assuming that I either left it disconnected, or knocked it loose while doing some work on the car. Now the question is whether I did it while installing the headers, or putting on the new intake?

I did a search, but didn't really find any relevent information, especially concerning it's location.
Thanks

I've got the same problem.

Might have melted it with the new headers as well. Find the line and trace it out to make sure it is away from anything hot. I wrapped heat shield around my electrical lines there for this reason. Hopefully it is just something simple like being unplugged.
