Topic: Still no oil pressure

I think you are right sharp about the EGR. What I was planning on doing was taking my manifolds and swapping them on to the new block, but a buddy asked why I dont keep the upgraded inject system and intake. I didnt think my computer would support that, so that is why I asked.  Here are some pictures. Would love to swap the exhaust manifold only and cap that pipe that leads to the intake manifold but dont think it is possible.

forgot to post my current plan in plain thought. 

I plan on taking off the old intake and exhaust manifolds from the 88 4.0 and putting them on the new block from the 92 so I can use the same connections, etc.. from the 88 4.0 I had installed. I know I lose the HO but at this point just want it running. 2 years without my baby and just looking at it sit is sad.

progress update --

Since I am now doing this alone (no help o.0, gonna be reading this manual a ton) I have replaced the valve cover and intake manifold gaskets.  Going to replace the timechain gasket and oilpan gasket and throw this baby in. hopefully since I am using the old manifolds everything will mount up correctly (exhaust) and plug and play after that to run. fingers crossed

it's a good idea to replace the front and rear crank seals as well, they're cheap and it's easy with the motor out.

How easy when sitting on an engine stand?
