At the front and middle of the head below intake manifold there should be 2 temp sensors. 1 for gauge and 1 for computer. But they combined them into one sensor on later models. I think this is where your problem is.

Hi. Im doing the same Swap.
Can you help me with the wiring?
For the temperture gauge you need the brown temp sensor. You can connect them direct in the cluster. A single cable.
