wrong o-ring on the oil pickup tube so it was sucking air.... looks like the oil we poured in it flushed out some more water from the engine and was mixed in the pan... aaaand it looks like someone threw a handful of top soil in the engine from all the oil deposits, etc that got knocked loose and down onto the windage tray, crank, and into the pan...
all that being said, and knowing it's nowhere close to ideal, HHP is going to clean it out as best they can, re-assemble it with the correct o-ring, check for oil pressure, and if that's good, perform a couple more oil changes to get as much crap out of the motor as possible... the way i look at it at this point is that it *could* be fine and run for a while or it could go tomorrow... might as well give the motor that is in there a chance and save my pennies for a 408 or similar down the road... the bright side is that i didnt really see any metal or babbit in the stuff that got knocked loose and none of it got sucked back up into the oiling system since there was no oil circulating... fingers crossed  huge thanks to Jamie and the guys for staying late tonight to get us to this point

I hope thats all it is. My thoughts are the o-ring we used came right out of a LS oil pump so why would it be too small? All the LS motors have the same size bore in the oil pump only the pickups are different hence the red o-rings for the pickups with the groove and the blue ones for the pickups without. It should have been the right o-ring? Anyway not doubting anybody but I just hope they don't button it all back up and still no oil pressure because the pump is bad. I guess we will see once it goes back together.
Edit: I have the utmost confidence in Jaime's abilitys and nunchuck skills.
