Have a LD 340 intake that I need to install a temp switch for my electric fans, is the wall thickness beside the thermostat thick enough as is just to drill and tap, or remove and have a bung welded in?

How many is too many?
If it looks like this one have you thought about tapping a hole through under the coil mount? Or maybe using a tee off the heater hose location.

Under the coil mount, good idea, plenty thick and goes into the R/H head rear water jacket. will the temp there be pretty close to what comes out of the thermostat?
I just went and looked at my LD340 that I will use on my 360, it doesn't look to feasible to drill and tap by the rear as those are blocked off.
I will probably get a fitting and install under the bypass hose on the front.

Thanks for the input. Drilled and tapped the an 1/8 npt hole on the drivers side of the thermostat housing. It was about 1/4 to 3/8 thick, doesn't leak and works well with a Derale 16731 switch, on at 190, off at 175 degrees.
I drilled and tapped my LD340 beside the thermostat housing.
Aluminum is about 3/16 thick, enough for 4 threads.
No leaks or issues.
