If you can put in a threaded sleeve fitting then that's a great idea. If you tap it right you could probably find a Fumoto ball valve drain that would fit. I use the Fumoto F102 in my oil sump and it works great. Re location, I have my tranny drain in the side of the deepest part of the pan (near the bottom) and this doubles as my temp gauge sensor sleeve - I just remove the sensor to drain the pan. The rear would work just as well.
I'd like to see a pic of your cradle when finished. I plan to mod by tranny jack adaptor to work better. It worried me to have that weight sitting on the thin pressed metal pan, and the timbers were ideal for spreading load off those sharp edged steel angles on the adaptor.
