I used the same oil pressure sensor as you have there except mine had a brass 45* elbow between the sensor and the block to give it some space to the fire wall. I believe the brass elbow was the same NPT thread as the sensor though. I installed mine like this.
That balancer cover looks really nice on there. The outcome is nice even though it took some work.
If you are going EFI, you will have to install a knock sensor then also?
You need a flex plate from a 1 piece rear main seal 350. They crank snub has a different offset then the 2 piece rear main engines. I suspect that will solve your issue.
