Its only an LS9 anyways. Cookie cutter engine. GM has a few thousand laying around.

If any fuel injected car starts, that means it has oil pressure. Its a safety feature for a potential crash site. No oil pressure kicks out the fuel pumps, if it didnt an over turned or wrecked car's fuel pump would empty its fuel tank onto the ground. No oil pressure, no fuel pressure, less fire risk to 1st aiders, not to save the engine itself.
Hog,

I think you are correct. Something tells me that scene will find its way into a commercial. Takes a licking and comes up ticking.
My 84 had an oil pressure switch by distributor that completed circuit for fuel pump. Wow! That's 30 years ago.
