Hooking up a Tach would be fairly simple, just wire it into the coil wires...
Reading it, on the other hand, would be a little tricky at speeeeed. Perhaps a "shift" light, programmed to flash at a pre-determined rev limit would be a little more user friendly.
Fuel pressure would be the same deal, just need to tap in somewhere...
Quite a few companies (ie: Autometer) offer mounting cups for their smaller guages...if this is what you're looking for, check 'em out.

I dealt with Autometer a year or so ago to see if they could figure out how to wire a tach. No dice. Couldn't figure out how to pick up the signal. Maybe now that there are so many people that are more saavy on this board, someone could figure it out.

I hooked up a tmi tach that uses a simple signal wire wrapped around the head of the coil so there is no cutting in. It measures to 20,000 rpm. It worked but i never got around to mounting it. It is simple very small ,waterproof and internally powered. I did use it for a few years on my 300ex stroker motors to keep from blowing the cranks out of them. I can get some pics if you like. I believe it was around 40 or 50 bucks.
