I ran a cheap one off eBay that had oil cooler ports and gauge take offs. Seemed fine but was always worried oil was too cool when engine cold.

You could always get a mocal thermostatic one and then fit the gauges somewhere else?

I was planning using a later style hdi sump which has 2 sump plugs on the back and one on the front. Was going to use one of the spare ones for oil temp. I was using the original oil pressure switch hole on the front of the block for an aftermarket oil pressure gauge.
