Check the O ring on the oil pickup tube to ensure that you did not pinch it, also check your oil galley plugs to ensure that they are indeed there and seated. Had the same problem before. Major PITA. Best of luck.

I would start by hooking up a diffrent oil gauge to make sure the oil sending unit isn't bad. and when you put the motor back in did you bleed off any air in the cooling system at the front crossover coolent pipe on the front of the heads. or you might have crossed the lines going in the right side of radiator.

...other galley plugs are in back of the cam retaining plate....under the big cam sprocket...
If you have some but not zero oil pressure, it is probably not the galley plugs...
