I use a VDO temperature sender that replaces the oil drain plug. $11.95
from Bus Depot <http://www.busdepot.com/details.jsp?partnumber=323888>.
That, a few meters of wire, and a VDO gauge
<http://www.busdepot.com/details.jsp?partnumber=310012> is all you
need.  I've never been totally at peace with the idea of that exposed
sender wire hanging under there, waiting to get caught on something; but
I've had no trouble yet. Easier to install than the oil pressure gauge
sender, at least.
