Default gauge selection for EFI

my 65 is going to be getting a...motor/trans swap to say the least but needing to know which gauges to get. Electronic stuff is throwing me off.
motor:ls1 based
trans is t56

they are GREAT power trains. the t56 is sweet being double overdrive. plus the ls is only about 3/4 inch wider then a 289. the DOHC engine is like 6 feet wider haha

good luck on the LS1, its a bad *** engine when a turbo is put on. Im not a mustang purist so dont care.

For guages, oil pressure,fuel pressure,water temp and A/F if you need it.

You can run any gauges so long as the senders and gauges match each other.

You will need to provide one heat sensor (and possibly one oil pressure sensor as well, depending on your computer) for the EFI and another for the gauge, but most manifolds have plenty of spots to make this happen.
