This is crazy, can anyone suggest a possible problem?

Here's what I know so far. It was overheating massivly but the guage wasn't showing it. The oil light blinks on and off continuously, even though there is plenty of oil in it and the motor seems to be getting oil pressure. I also checked the water pressure and tried to figure out why the motors keep overheating and the heater hoses and radiator are getting plenty of pressure. What the hell could cause this problem? Am I missing something obvious or is this just a freak incident?
i can fix it

NONE of the above. Found out the problem. Something stupid and small like I thought. The one wire coolant plug was broken and not making contact. This caused the car to overheat and somehow the overheating made it lose oil pressure. Anyways, I think the motor I just put in is salvagable if I install new rod bearings. Thanks everyone for attempting to solve the problem :-)
