Go to the BD site, they sell an aftermarket lift pump that uses a tap on the drivers side of th block for the oil pressure. The instructions are free to download and they have a good picture of the tap.

There's an oil pressure port on top of your oil filter head, and it comes with a 1/8" NPT plug in it from the factory.

It just so happens that a typical Hobbs switch is 1/8" NPT, so just screw a Hobbs in place of that plug and you'll have your pressure-switched LP.


Easy greasy.
