Tell Chris (I'm sure you got his number) to post a little bit about his Goblin. Sharp color combination, very clean looking with the white and red - and the chrome wheels.

I have seen this car for sale on the Goblin owners Facebook page a few times. I am glad your willingness to let a complete stranger get into your car is motivating him to finish!
Speaking about your Oil pressure sensor. I'm over Thanksgiving in Ohio and just put in LSJ on marketplace. Amazing how much more inventory is up here.
One posting has an LSJ oil cooler. The posting reads like it is somehow modified to accept an oil pressure sensor.
Do you know anything about that? Still haven't installed my sensor... Oil cooler would be probably easier to get to.

The LSJ block has a spot for an oil pressure sensor. It is blocked off, and the LSJ uses an oil pressure switch to turn on an oil light if the pressure drops below a preset ~20 PSI. The oil pressure switch is over by the stock oil cooler.
You could hook up an oil pressure sensor lots of places, including modifying the oil pressure switch for an oil pressure sensor.

Yeah, I saw your post. I reads just so scary what you had to do to get the plug out. I thought it might be easier at the oil cooler.
Well, it seems like at the oil cooler is the standard location for the oil pressure switch. Saying that, I think it's the easiest to replace that sensor with an analog sensor and make a small electrical circuit to measure the pressure and have the 0/1 signal for the ECU.

Why over complicate it, put a tee in the block port and mount both the stock pressure switch and the pressure sensor. Easy peasy. Unless you are hard set on creating a circuit to correlate the switch signal into pressure and get it reading the correct ft.lb. value. If you are successful just be ready to make a bunch to sell.

Well, amazing idea! That's what I will try to do. I'll have look if there is enough space.Why over complicate it, put a tee in the block port and mount both the stock pressure switch and the pressure sensor. Easy peasy.
Might be best running a hose and putting the sensors elsewhere. Will follow up on my build log when I get a chance. Currently in Thanksgiving travel.

Run a hose off a brass T just to run a oil pressure sensor? Well that would work, but what was wrong with just removing the stock plug in the side of the block, that was designed to hold an oil pressure sensor? I know I had a hard time, but Lonny set me straight, and with a propane torch for heat, it came out easy. There is oil pressure sensors that use the stock thread pattern, rather than using the adapter that I found for a generic pressure sensor.
I hear you....and I am running out of excuses of doing anything else but using the spot on the block. But I will continue whining on my build log.
I made a manifold header that I bolted to the side of the block and attached with a hose.
Real problem is getting a gauge mounted where you can see a problem in time to actually prevent damage

Get one of these and help save your engine if the oil pressure drops off for short durations (like high G corners). Nothing will save it if the pump fails.

So I took a vacation that went thru Phoenix, and had a chance to meet Tim, and a sit in his goblin project.
I don't seem to fill out his car (I'm 5'11, 180lbs) like he does, no wonder he earned that nick name.
On my way back home, I also managed to catch a visit with Kevin, and see my favorite electric Tesla goblin.
Even got to charge my Tesla at his shop, while we took his Tesla out for lunch.
It was a quick 4 day vacation in Yuma, but I'm glad I had the opportunity to see 2 goblin builders.

Is that a picture of the SQWATCH!?

Ross was pretty sneaky with the camera. My blur-the-photo magic dust was not very effective that day. Just don't submit a bigfoot report with the BFRO!

I believe someone has been taken in by a conspiracy!! That guy is more likely Desert Squatch's Body Double!
