Been there, done that. Just like you, no fun to do it twice.

Who would have known that GM would have had 2 different lengths of the back flange on the 6.0 crank. We ended up having to turn the mounting flanges on the converter down to make everything fit properly. Engine is back and transmission are back in. Almost ready to fire back up.

Fingers crossed...

I've never had a build I hated so much!!! Got this things all put back together and started. Made it to the end of the driveway and lost oil pressure again!!!!

Did you use an oil pickup tube o-ring that you had to use a little force to push it into the oil pump or did it slip right in?
I've had this issue and found out I had used too small of an o-ring out of the gasket kit.

It had 60 lb of oil pressure at 600 RPM idling in the shop. I moved it outside and drove it down the driveway at an idle and it lost oil pressure. I've checked the o-ring on the oil pump multiple times to make sure it's the right one. I bought a new oil pump this morning I really hope it didn't hurt the engine. If it did I don't know what I'm going to do cuz I'm done with this thing
