Oil pressure gauge tap location

Is there an easily accessible location on the 5.4 to tap into to run a mechanical oil pressure gauge? If so, pics would be very welcome.

WOW!? 99 Views and no one knows of a place to tap into to check oil pressure? Besides the oil pressure switch, of course.

Heres what I did on my 2000 Expedition....I took off the factory oil pressure switch, used a hose barb in that location from there I installed a high pressure high temp hose to a T-fitting so than I can install the factory oil pressure switch and my Auto Meter sending unit...it works great....I also used a bracket to mount the T-fitting to the frame and out of the way of any movement of the steering or suspension.....I should of taken pictures of the install I did. Hope this helps...
