I was just woundering where on the stock guages everyones oil pressure reads. Ive got a fresh rebuilt motor and the oil pressure is at the 2nd line up from the bottom when it is fully warmed up. My other Stang has over 200 000 kms on it and it reads the same. Is this normal or do i have some oil pressure issues on the new motor?

you should not use the stock gauge for any sort of analysis. get a real gauge and go from there.
you spent all that cash on a new motor - dont pinch pennies now (though even a 10 dollar parts store gauge is better than the stocker).
good luck.
