Was the original block reused?
Were the bearings in the cam tunnel replaced? As the rear ones have sticks in the oil holes to block them.
Was the pump pulled apart and re-assembled? If so was the relief spring re-installed?
The welch plug is a good one to consider too. There are plugs in the back of the cams (as stated previously) and there is also a small (19mm) plug at the front of the engine (behind timing case) that blocks an oil gallery - it may have been left out and it doesn't appear in the rebuild book.
Were the grub screws in the crank removed? Were they re-installed?

What else has changed? Has the distributor been removed for direct fire ignition? There are a myriad of small things that it could be.
(another small test that you could do is remove the distributor and drive the oil pump with a long screwdriver in the cordless drill and see if the pump actually loads up)

You need to know 1 thing for sure - if it had oil pressure when you pulled it apart and now it doesn't then the mistake definitely lies with the rebuild.

PM me if you need further help.
