I'd hit it again w the priming rod/drill (w the crank in the right spot)& see what you get for a start. That way the eng is not running & no damage will be done while you search for what's going on.

Check the oil hole in the rocker shafts,they may be on upside down.you can loosen the shafts and prime it again and see if there's oil there.If theres oil there and its not getting to the rockers,then its in the shafts. If you loosen the shafts and theres no oil then the head gasket/oil holes are blocked.
Hope this helps...
Wouldn't have had abundant oil to start with if this were the case.

I'd put a direct reading gauge in the sending unit NPT port in the top rear of the block & drill prime it & see what you DO have. If not enough psi: pipe plug loosened (not likely) wasn't installed (not likely given your level of expertise),lifter popped out (you probably know it if it did) oil pump/regulator problem (again not too likely).If pressure IS OK there I'd take off the rocker shaft assy's and have a helper slowly turn the crank w a breaker bar until he hits the sweet spot as you man the drill and having something over the pedestals that have the passages as it will gush. No gushing points to as said cam bearing or related internal passage to the bearing or the passage from the bearing up to the heads including the head gasket. haven't done it but might insert a straight rod into the pedestal down to the cam bearing & see if you feel any obstruction. But I got a feeling that by this time something will be apparent. Holler when you find what it is.

You should get oil on one side when crank is at top dead center on timing indicator. Run drill for a little bit, and if still no oil to rockers, turn the crank one revolution, getting indicator back to top dead center again, and it should oil one side. If it does then oil one side, you'll then have to turn crank slowly another couple of turns, and before you complete the second revolution, your other bank of rockers should get oil.
