T adapter on oil port of Gen1 SBC 350?

On a Gen 1 SBC 350, is it feasible to run a T adapter like the one pictured here, to run both an oil pressure sending unit and an oil temperature sending unit?

Yup, been done plenty of times, for a variety of applications.

Although, that's FAR FROM the best place to measure oil temp. It'll mostly measure block temp. Better to put that sending unit in the pan where it belongs.
