Ok, I recently purchased an electric oil pressure gauge AND an electric oil temp gauge. I know you can get adapters to mount these into the stock oil pressure sender locations. My question is I will be going turbo KA in the near future, so I will need an oil line for the turbo also.

Can I fit all 4 (oil pressure, oil temp, oil line, and stock sender) into the stock location?? Is there enough space? Or alternatively, is there another place I can install one of the above mentioned items?

There is enough space, it'll just be a hairball of oil lines. Just start daisy chaining them together and have the last one be oil line to turbo. The other thing you can do is get a sandwich plate for the oil filter and run the gauge lines from there. Sandwich plate from some ford v6 or v8 works, just can't remember which one.

Ford 302.

Greddy makes a nice adapter with three ports on it, giving you a total of five if you use the OE ports.

Does the Greddy plate come with NPT ports or something else?

You're right, I skimmed over that.
