Headers blocking oil temp sensor on f body oil pan
First of all, LS1 tech is a great resource! Thanks to all the members.
I'm in the middle of my LS3 conversion on a 1977 Nissan 280Z. I have the headers installed for fitment. The passenger side headers are blocking the oil temperature sensor on the F body oil pan. Here is a link to the ls f body oil pan
Anyone encounter this type of problem? I would consider different oil pan with different oil temp sensor placement. Not sure which pan would work. Any specific pans I should try? Any online websites with diagrams showing the oil pan specs?

I see from my wiring diagram one wire is grounded and the other goes to the ECU, so from your post I take it the level switch is open when oil is not present and grounds the ECM input when oil is present.
How does the ECM respond when no oil is present? Does it stop running or does it just trigger a DTC/check engine?
