I use a simple electric setup from Summit. PN #sum-760002
I'll second what @matzell said.You might want look into mechanical line locks.
I'll second what @matzell said.
Electric line locks are meant for intermittent use somewhere around 60 seconds. A little panel mount Swagelok ball valve will serve you well when the line lock fails.

I’m going to make a T at the stock sending unit location so I can run both gauges.

Great, now I have something else to add to the parts list! Just when I thought I was getting my act together.
I had a high reading on my stock gauge during the break in time on 4.4.1
I swapped sending units from one I had on the shelf and it came down some but not in range.
I hate a dead gauge. I’d rather it be high and working than just unplugged and dead.
Just make sure you get the copper line with the gauge. They all come with plastic line and it can melt if routed wrong.
I have a lot of money in this motor. This is a bit of a piece of mind for cheap

Electric power steering?
The second issue was lack of power to pull all the weight I want to pull in the Pig, yet keep it Toyota. The Warthog is a low mileage truck, in fact, it just turned 100,000 miles. The dissy and carb were just rebuilt special by JimC, but the motor set up for many years and it needs freshening up a bit.
Recently, Mosley Motors has completed a Hot Rod 2F build on The Delta Beast (a 1974 FJ40 I have a bit of history with) and it was all I could think about while I was struggling to pull my M416 up the hills of Central Alabama.
Fresh motor.....fuel injection......man. That's not too much to ask, right? The warthog deserves it.
Plus, this hot rod 2F thing is real. I had just taken my FJ40 (Project Patina) with a new, stock 2F and perfectly tuned carb up for a drag race to see for myself the difference in power.....
I'll let the video tell the tale
Couple quick things I learned from the race car scene, never hang a T on the block - instead remote mount it on the body away from vibration, for quicker gauge response run a bigger line to it, ballpark oil pressure should be 10 lbs per 1000rpm...
Good luck with 4.4.2
