Paul,
I tapped into the my aluminum block at the oil filter fitting location
for both my PSRU oil supply as well as my oil pressure sensor. My engine
has 75 psi of pressure at that point (after oil filter - remote mounted and
oil cooler). So I don't think you have any problem getting sufficient
pressure at that point. Here are a coupld of photos to make it clearer
(recall my engine is Plugs Up)
