Temp/Pressure Sender Installation

I need to install three senders for my new guage cluster, but unfortunately, I have no other trucks or engines to reference for the correct installation location. I'm also starting with a new crate engine (454 Big Block Chev) so I have no hits there either.

#1) Temp. Sender for Water - Where should this be installed? I see a plug next to the thermostat housing, but I read somewhere that it should be in head.

#2) Temp. Sender for Transmission - Turbo 400. Not sure where to install....Any hints?

#3) Oil Pressure for Engine - I see a plug on the left, front side of the engine, under the exhaust manifolds...Is this where this should be installed?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Rick

What he said, but on #2 you can get a fitting that will allow you to install it in the pan without the welding, if you prefer.
