Well, all you need to do is add voltage reducers on th backs of the gauges and retain the OEM gauges and senders.
I used the small individual Runtz reducer on my gas gauge and converted my electric oil and temp gauges to mechanical. But you can use the runtz on the oil and temp too. There's different types of voltage reducers - some do one gauge, some do two some will do all three.
Here is the conversion process thread with 3 Runtz reducers with pics:

If you want to convert your oil and temp to mechanical, send me a PM with your e-mail address and I'll send you the pics and write up - it's easy but not in a format I can post here.
