Default oil temp and pressure gauges.

So i really want to put those 2 gauges in my s2k but i have no idea how and what exactly needs to be done for them. I know that for teh temp you can simply get a new drain plug and do it like that. however i dont no how pressure is done. I would rather not do drilling or have oil running behind the gauge if that is normally nessesary. So my question is how exactly is a oil pressure gauge ran?

Careful with the oil pressure fitting. A few owners have cracked their block because of the tapered pipe fitting. See this thread:

is there any easy way to install these types of gauges? without running new oil lines or risking cracking anything. and im i correct when i state that you can simply operate a oil temp gauge by using a aftermarket drain plug with a sensor in it?
