Engine test stand - Gauges

So i have multiple VW and Porsche aircooled engines so I am building a test stand based on a design from the 911s forum. I have the Zalex engine adapter and shims so I can use it with both VW type 1, 356 and 911 engines, all good.

So I am guessing I need to monitor oil pressure and temp, volts, RPM and maybe head temp? I am wondering if anyone does a multi gauge to cover all these or if it is a case of buying individual gauges?

Not sure if anyone here has tried it before,

Here is my design so far:
