Measuring Current/Voltage with arduino ?

Repeating the (unanswered) question above: I would like to have a 3.3V Arduino board on a vehicle, and the current to be measured is up to 120 amps for about 22 volts.

I understand the idea of a shunt, but I don't know how to scale up the concept to deal with the circuit. Of course, I also don't want to burn up much power in the measurement function.
