When I drop my new motor in I want to have the vent mounted dual gauge setup with auto meter oil pressure and water temp gauges. Do these gauges come with all I need to hook up to my 5.0 EFI? The correct fittings and hoses? How hard is it to route through the dash? Which one is the water temp sender, is it the one on the left/front side of lower intake or is it connected to the black heater hose pipe? Anybody running these gauges? Thanks a lot guys.
 
They come with everything needed to hook up to the engine. The Water Temp might however need a fitting which will allow you to mount the sensor on the intake, my firneds didn't included it, and he had to buy one. I got mine used, ubt i also had to buy the fitting. Mine was an extension, but I think they have shorter ones.
 
I think the 2 5/8" gauges look too big in the stang, almost goofy looking. I made a custom vent that used three 2 1/6" gauges and the angled gauge rings to aim them at the driver. Looks dang near factory. The only down side is the gauges take a lot away from the AC system and it get's warm inside on hot days.
