Any help would be greatly appreciated

Don't know why you want a tach, the dash already has one and you already have a water temp gauge too.

The oil pressure, the oil sending unit will have to be "T" into. It's next to the oil filter on the front of the engine. At least it is on the 3400 motor.

Lighting is easy, just tap into the brown wire on the back of the radio and the yellow wire for ign

Have you ever seen a 3400 engine break a rocker and bend a pushrod? I've got a 02 that my son drives and he came home one night told me the service engine light was blinking. I scaned it and got #3 missfire. Took a compression test, was ok, checked for fuel in the cylinder, ok then removed the valve cover and found the broken parts, what do you think caused that?? Still has stock airbox and was serviced about 5K before this happened.
