351m oil pressure problem

Hello, I've recently replaced the cam,intake,carb in my 351m
and before I did this, my oil pressure seemed to be fine. Now when I start it, the engine runs at 65lbs. When it warms up it drops to just above 5lbs. What is my problem, I drained the
oil, hopingto get some junk out.It didn't help.

How many miles are in the engine? I take it your using a mechanical gauge, sure it's working correctly? You'll probably find the main/rod bearings are worn...

main bearings are more than likely the cause.
