No oil pressure on mechanical gauge = bad.
Are you sure that you didn't block off any passages when you installed the new head gaskets?
Don't take this the wrong way, but have you ever done a project that is anything like this before? It kind of seems like you're winging it.
On a new motor (or newly rebuilt) it is common practice to prime the oil system before you try to start and run the motor. This would have shown you that you have a problem before you messed up the motor. (if you ran it with no oil pressure, you certainly did some damage.)
