1) What weight oil?
2) What are the Main and rod bearing clearances?
3) What are the side clearances on the rods?
4) Did you double check to make sure the P/R holes ARE .030?
5) What oil pump ? ( new or used, if used, are there any scratches in the end cover plate?
6) A good oil filter on there when priming right?
7) How big is the cam and did you check ( look down the galleys to make sure the oil band is staying in alignment during lift?
8) Is it a standard base circle cam?

Try rotating the motor over while priming and see if the oil pressure goes up and down  If so you probally have a lifter problem exposing the oil galley at high lift Been there, done that
