I have a Cadillac Northstar engine and my start is the same problem.  The oil pressure switch has two circuits in it.  One controls the fuel pump and the other controls the oil pressure "dash light" system.  But, the ecm is in the middle of the mess. so no  oil pressure, no ignition controll voltage.  My fuel pump is on a separate circuit.  Probably good to have oil pressure before ignition/start? There is a ton of points in the Northstar that should have oil pressure before ignition voltage though (overhead valve lifters, multiple cam chain tensioners, etc)  I'm still going to try a bypass circuit to enable ignition sooner.

just a little update on my kit car, wait  I mean replica. got primed and start to block and going over some imperfections then the prime final coats after and hopefully paintlt before winter. also, a little thing when I got the ECM flashed they took of about 10 things so when I need to start up it takes good 3 cranks over till the fuel pump activates, so a friend of mine made prime delay circuit two seconds. you crank in two seconds starts. just like the real Lamborghini does.

I case you wonder why is the body empty
I pre fit all lights, dash , Center console everything
So when I paint it it won’t have any overspray
And I case of replace some parts all is made to do with out tearing the body a part
Still lot to do before the paint

Great to see you at it, that certainly is not the fun bit of the build.

NP   thanks , not finished yet but its coming . I had before the BMW trunk hinges but it never want to line up , since my body was so butchered by splashing . Rodney talked me in to change as OEM style  and one day it was  done. I'll make better picture when finished with lift shocks
I had to cut out that middle section so I can get to weld mounting brackets . yesterday I flange the cut off piece ,today glassed both side together

 For all at once
I run extra hot wire from each indicator connect them together to this chart . So at the end one wire will feed all at once 3 seconds .

Blk  ground and hot for each signal , they are LED so some bulbs may not have build in resistor ( not sir if that’s right name)?  As in my case I add to each bulb
