Oil pressure use a "T" piece in the original pressure switch location to run pressure switch and new OIL PRESSURE SENDER.
For water temp guage, you will not be able to use the original in case it is calibrated differently(most liklely) to ford one so will need to find a way of inserting somewhere, maybe make/buy a metal section to go in a hose with a boss in it for temp sender.

Strip all the wires back, twist them all together and close your eyes while you turn the key
