Correct oil pressure sender for a 3.6 conversion?

Before the 3.6 conversion my old 3.2 oil sender and gauge appeared to be accurate.

I have since installed a 95 993 non V/R 3.6 and now my oil pressure gauge reads noticeably higher.

With the engine hot above 3k rpm it will indicate over 140lbs.

At 180 oil temp with two front coolers, no thermostat and a front oil sump could I really be seeing that high of pressure with a stock 3.6 oil pump?

I did install a 3.2 oil temp sender to correct the temperature readings.
Should I also install a 3.2 pressure sender?
thanks,

I was never able to locate a sender that would work correctly, mostly because it doesn't bother me that the pressure reads double what it should.

The temp sender is easy, just use a sender for the chassis. In my case the '76 sender screwed right in
