oil pressure sensor

How would I go about hooking up an oil pressure idiot light on an 03? This is on an engine swapped into a ford so I dont have the dodge cluster or body control module, etc.

Basically I have the engine and ECM. If it takes an aftermarket oil pressure sensor then I'm fine with that, but I dont know where to install it. Any help would be appreciated!

I understand a real guage would be better but I specifically need a light.

for oil pressure access, you can get it off the filter pad [standard 1/8"npt fittings] or the left side of the block. there are 2 m10x1.0 orb ports, and 2 m14x1.5" orb ports. one of the 14mm ones are blocked by the filter pad bracket, and the other is occupied by the stock switch

the stock "sensor" should work. it is a glorified 6psi hobbs switch. if you just want to use a hobbs switch, you can pull the stock switch, use a m14x1.5 orb to npt bushing and put it there. set the hobbs switch to 10psi and you will be set.
