New coolant temp sending unit is too big...but have an idea.

Hey guys! The water tempature sending unit on the engine block on my early 944 has a pretty shallow hole that it's saposed to go into, and is a single prong design. Since I installed a post 85.5 wiring harness, this connector now uses a two prong design and the new unit itself is much longer, and will not fit the current hole on the block.

I was wondering if I need to drill into the block to accomadate for this extra length? If I do this, I'm pretty sure that the sensor will be in the water jacket itself, probably giving me a better reading. Is this how the late 944 was done?

Thanks for any help!
