For those that would like to know the potential costs involved for my build:

I paid the following prices for the gauge setup pictured in my prior post response. See below. All gauges came with sensors. Just needed to find a place to mount them. I had a sandwich plate for the oil cooler. Port was available. One problem solved. I ordered the water temp sensor adapter for the return coolant hose at the top of the engine block and installed the temp sensor. When the thermostat opens you get the coolant temp reading. It very closely follows the OBD2 coolant sensor readings. Fabricating the cubby mount and the wiring integration is not that hard. Minor cutting and drilling at best. Take the whole cubby out to do this install if you plan to keep it more or less intact, I found it to be the easiest way to work the install and not sweat to death in the Texas heat getting this done. The dimmer unit is definitely required for nighttime driving. Do not try to hook this up to the factory dimmer, it's a waste of time and just a pain.
