Is anybody aware of oil and fuel pressure transducers that connect directly to the port on the engine rather than mount on the firewall?

Usually not a good idea as you have a relatively heavy sender mechanically
supported by a small diameter threaded fitting. The sender being free to
vibrate around presents a strong moment arm to the sender fitting.

I used Adel clamps to mount my oil and fuel pressure senders to the engine
mount, 8" to 10" or so away from the engine oil port or fuel pump. I made
up a short piece of fire sleeved hose to make the connection. 400 hrs on my
RV-8A and still working fine.

You may have a hard time finding any that mount directly to the engine.
All of the ones I've seen say not to mount them to the engine due to the
fact that the vibrations will damage them.
