New oil pump? What oil filter? Could be the pressure relief valve in the oil pump is stuck open. It's also easy to crack the pickup tube by the threads. How far off the bottom of the oil pan is the pickup? Are you checking for pressure while priming the pump or cranking engine? Not trying to be short just throwing out some thoughts and maybe get a little more info on the situation.
