I think Dave Barton has made graded gauge faces for some instrument clusters. You might check his website.

I have added a lot of gauges, and it is possible, but can take some effort to find and mount senders. You can mount them in the block if you find a port you can unplug, you can mount them in place of original senders. You can mount them in conjunction with original senders using Tee fittings. You can mount them in hoses using Tee fittings. Sunpro sells metric to 1/8 NPT adapter kits for about $5 that can help, and it is also possible to find 1/4 to 1/8 NPT pipe bushings.

I am using a Bede coolant temp gauge from JC Whitney, with a Stewart Warner sender in a metric 16 x 1.5 to 1/8 NPT adapter in the head in place of the original coolant temp sender.
