oil pressure gauge would be at the back of the block,behind the intake valve.if it's on one of those 460's.coolant i believe is in the intake manifold.

just be care full with that oil pressure gauge,your fuel pump oil pressure switch is hooked up to it,so you might need a t fitting,cause with out this switch your intank pumps won't run.
