Water temp gauge sending unit?

I'm installing an LS3 motor and wanting to use my factory dash cluster gauges on my 69 c10. I know I have to use and adapter for the head threads, but will any sending unit work with my gauges or is there a special sending unit for this application?

Anyone,anyone?

I saw where someone drilled and tapped the flat spot on a 5.3 ls water pump and used a stock temp sensor.

Over on LS1 tech, guys are just drilling and tapping the sending unit hole in the head for the larger old style sending unit.
