Weird Oil Pressure problem.

Weird Oil Pressure problem.
This is on a just built new 5.3 LS FBody style motor, the oil pump came from another "new" motor but that motor had water damage and rusted over. The pump was cleaned but here is what happens.
The pressure goes right up to 60 PSI on startup, then slowly the pressure lowers down to nearly the red mark as the car warms up. What is causing this?

My guess is, it is something plugging your oil pressure sensor. Try filling with oil to a level above the point where the oil pick-up tube meets the case, see if there's a difference.
