Not a problem. Just pull out the oil pressure sender unit and pump as much oil as you can in through an oil can. Put a small section of plastic hose on the spout of the can and push it in to the hole. Keep pumping until the hose pushes out, should only take 1/2 a pint maximum and it will be enough. Quickly put the sender back in and turn the engine over.
I was a mechanic for 20yrs plus and used to do that on all my engines. It will pick up oil pressure pretty well straight away after that.
I ended up making a small pressure vessel out of a section of 4" exhaust pipe, put a fitting from a tubless tire in it and a small section of plastic hose from a tap. Used to pump up the pressure with a hand or foot pump, only took less than 5psi to push in the oil. But the oil can will work just as well.
Enjoy your new engine.
