It's not necessary to braze it, getting it hot enough to risk an oil vapor
flash. I would drain the oil, and solder the fitting on. If you can get your
oil pan over 400 when running it and melt solder, you won't need a temp
guage to tell you it's toast.
I don't know if i would epoxy a sender outside of a plastic pan, it probably
has some insulating properties.
