are you sure its no oil pressure and not just a lack of oil pressure indication?

if you have a oil filler on the rocker cover open it while injun is running you should see if the oil is being pumped around or not.

if it is, then check yer wiring for the light/gauge

Hello Thanx For Your Reply There Is No Oil Coming Up The Engine Ive Removed The Rocker Covers And Rocker Arms When Cranking No Oil Coming Through The Oil Hole At The Front ??

could be a number of fings... some crud blocking the oil ways, pressure relief valve incorrectly set, incorrect pump fitted, not enough oil. its not unknown for engine builders to block oil ways by using too much gasket sealant

on some engines you can use an old distbutor drive and a drill to prime the oil system before attempting to start the engine.

if yer lucky someone with more knowledge of the v8 will come along and tell wots up.
